I need as many signatures as possible to reach parliament. Beths been on picu mostly for almost 3 years. Because of ‘challenging behaviour’ due to environment and not accessing the right support, she is deemed not safe to be let out. Now, if she were a criminal and had robbed, stabbed or worse, there would be funding to reform to get back in the community. Criminals get more rights than Autistic people who deserve so much better!
We need the Government to create more suitable places for Autistic people who may have challenging behaviours, places where they can access the right support and thrive in a community that they should be very much part of. Beth has spent all her adult years in hospital and hasn’t had the experience of being able to be an adult. This right has been taken away meaning she will need more support when she does leave to learn independence skills, life skills and to be able to manage without a whole team of people. This is a very expensive resource as well as almost 3 years on a picu unit. Money that could have been better spent on making a positive difference. When will they get it right
