My gratitude goes to those funding, and reading, the coverage #learningdisability#autism
Tony Hickmott goes home.
A loving family fighting his corner, scrutiny of the media and supervision by the Court of Protection have created the possibility of equal justice, equal opportunity and equal dignity https://t.co/RBkPMAFI8p
As Tony Hickmott finally returns home after 22 years in an inpatient unit, I asked the Care Minister what she will do to release the 2,000 other autistic people & people with a learning disability who are still detained & who would receive far more effective care in the community
My autistic son is 24 next month, he doesn't have friends, has never been invited to a party, which sadly isn't unusual for autistic people, he's had a tough time adapting to the changes to his routine, would anyone like to send him a birthday card? Thankyou for reading.
I had decided to take 2020 off from Twitter, but things are looking up now. Maybe I can find the humor in things again. Do people still celebrate Christmas?
Autistic people are often forgotten.
Some autistic people have never been invited to a birthday party or a sleepover.
Sometimes the last to be chosen but the first to be blamed
Left out by their peers and forgotten by society.

My wish as a parent of a autistic child / a child with special needs.
Isn't to be rich.
It's to see my child live a long and happy life.
And that I live just one day more.
