I wouldn't trust any of them to have the competance, in fact I don't trust anybody to have the
competence. (only me)
Adrian you are like a stuck record, have you considered the difficulties of an "audit".
Pray tell me what disability organisation out there currently understands the full ramifications of
autism? for a start off there is the definition, and considering that by the time DSMV comes out in
a few years time it may all have changed, this could be something of a tail chasing exercise unless
whoever is appointed (and at the moment it seems like a bunch of ill informed academics) really
consider all of the issues, including social model definitions (happy now?)
I expect what ever comes out of the politically expedient and cheap audit, (No I don't take the
governments announcement seriously) the results will continue to be argued over for years to come.
Stuff it all Adrian, never mind a bunch of has been organisations getting funding how about
employing autistic researchers to carry this out?
