The new autism champion interview

[Guest guest]

I like what she is saying about Valuing People being the model that

needs to be used to develop services for people with autism and their

families.

The draft commissioning guidance that her predecessor developed was

not approved by the Dept of Health - it is part of the new Autism

Advisor's job now to pick this up and turn it around so it will be

interesting to see what happens.

The first two social services assessments of Edith concluded that I had

made her autistic by being over-protective. This was in the face of a

doctor's letter which said she was severely vulnerable and needed

constant supervision.

It seems to be sorted out now but it gives a good flavour of the SS

understanding of autism. It's a variation of refridgerator mothers

really. I also suspect that SS have psycho-babble for brains.

However the last par of the interview troubles me a lot. I don't want to

feel listened to (I feel better now someone has taken the time etc etc)

I want better services which I can control -- not take-it-or-leave-it crap.
