PLEASE SIGN THIS E-PETITION - GOVERNMENT TO STOP COUNCILS EXEMPTING AUTISM AS A DISABILITY
It is not easy raising a child on the spectrum as every day I learn something new. But it is society that makes things harder for me when applying for things and having to explain what problems I face with my son from day to day.
Filling in forms when asking for descriptions and senarios to fit a description for my son to be entitled to anything for me is not fair as each child/young person or adult on the spectrum is unique to that person! But until the government and those making decisions for those we care for. To describe from getting dressed, putting to bed and getting up, to walking down the road to feeding them varies.
Until the government learn about this complex condition the quicker the Autistic Community will be able to have some normality in their life. We need to listen to the Autistic Adults whether they are non-verbal or verbal many are able to explain clearly how they feel about many things!!
We all need to join together, instead of sitting back. Autism will not go away. Just because my son is now getting the right support and respite is in place to have one to one leisure away from me. THERE ARE MANY FAMILIES WHO FOR WHAT EVER THE REASON NEED FOR THE ONE THEY CARE FOR TO THE INDEPENDENT AUTISTIC ADULT TO GET THE SUPPORT THEY APPLY FOR!!!!
PLEASE JOIN THE E-PETITION IN MAKING A DIFFERENCE
