I need to open up my heart to others and I need to ask if anyone know of a mediation service which will mediate between myself and Mark Baggley and Choices and Rights, Hull and also my local health and social services within the East Riding of Yorkshire.
I have Asperger Syndrome, Tourettes Syndrome, ADHD, Dyspraxia and other SpLd's and I'm experiencing great difficulties with Mark and other members of staff at Choices and Rights, Hull. I have professional qualifications but have come-up against many barriers and discrimination in furthering my employment and career. I have never been offered any supported employment opportunities.
I will state at present that the relationships between myself and Choice and Rights and the local public authorities are very traumatic for all parties and there seems to be a 'roadblock' in communications and a lack of understanding of my impairments, in which I feel is causing me to feel discriminated and socially excluded and isolated.
I have invited Choices and Rights to become involved in mediation and would welcome any ideas from other disabled people where I could find an mediator.
With Choices and Rights being a member of BCODP is it possible that someone within the national group act as a mediator ?
I will state that I have experienced discrimination throughout my lifecourse due to me being neuro-diverse, in which I was only diagnosed last year at 39 years with the impairments mentioned. I have been embattled with my local public authorities since 1995 to receive specialist diagnoses and treatments, therapies and practical support for independent living and I refused institutionalised 24/7 care. I want to have the specialist care in my own home and I have the right for Independent Living.
This embattlement over the last 8 years ha caused me great distress and impacted on my self-esteem and relationships with others. I have become really frustrated and feel in a state of ontological insecurity and lost trust in the system and human-beings.
I have been let-down by solicitors, barristers and health and social care professionals and I feel that I am a lone-wolf, in a hostile world where I feel that I experience ignorance and abuse for being neuro-diverse. I have had great problems finding a legal advocate who listens and understands my impairments and I get struck-off when I fight my corner and give them my instructions. This means I require an empathetic solicitor and barrister who are 'autistic' friendly and disability equality training and have knowledge of NHS and Community Care Law , Human Rights and Disability Discrimination Legislation.
Can anyone help?
I have a lot of love to give, but I always seem to be in battles and this put me and others on the defensive and I feel that their is a transference and projection of my 'inner-pain' which is internalised and I feel that no-one wants to listen and understand my world and I 'wear many different masks' to cover up the inner emotional and psychological pain.
As I said is there anyone out there who can give me any ideas and help with mediation with Choices and Rights and also my local public authorities.
I am fed-up of the long fight since 1995.
HELP!
