> Amended Email

> Adrian et al
>
> As you know today (3/12/08) is the International day of Disabled People; tomorrow (4/12/08) European Day of Disabled People.
>
> In reading your emails, I could not agree with you more, especially as you are informed of 'Disabilist' behaviour which I have experienced this week by the DoH, as part of the DoH 'Autism and NeurpoDiversity 'Stakeholders' group is beyond believe.
>
> This behaviour towards me has been emailed to Shami Chakrabarti and others at Liberty and it's clear indicators to me the continued ignorance and 'Disabilist' attitudes' towards Autistic/Neurodiverse people within the DoH and all other public bodies due to our 'neuro-behavioural differences', which all these public bodies find very 'challenging' to deal with, especially our 'directness, honestly and emotionally charged' behaviour, which under 'meltdown' eposides, causes by 'environmental-triggers' and officers/Professionals within these public bodies triggering 'stress'; which everyone knows that Autistics/Neurodiverse people, especially those on the 'spectrum' who are 'hypersensitive', like myself, have very 'low-intolerance stress levels', but under statutory disability equality duty theu can't meet our needs and by 'ignoring' and 'ecluding' 'Us', then they are is serious breach of the disability equality and wider equality and basic human rights duties.
>
> As I said I am not surprised that you are being continually 'ignored' and caused frustration, distress by Elaine Hill and others within DoH.
>
> As I said this is par for the course within 'Disabilist' attitudes and behaviour towards Autistic/Neurodiverse stakeholders within DoH and all other public bodies.
>
> None of these Officers/Professionals within the DoH and other public bodies have had no 'Disability Equlaity Training (DET) and specific 'specialist' ASC's and Neurological-Behavioural Diiferences (NeuroDiversity) under the DDA 2005 and HRA 1998, this is the outcome of my empirical research and my 'lived-experiences' in dealings with the DoH and all other public bodies and Government Dpts in the UK.
>
> They can't even respond to complaints within a 'reasonable' time-limits' and make reasonable-adjustments in accommodation of assessede needs, or respond to phone-calls and as I said now they can't even speak with 'Us' on the telephone, without them making 'disabilist' comments about our 'behaviour'.
>
> As you know today (3/12/)8) is the day that DoH and all public bodies have to produce their Disability Equality statement, like you and I am waiting to see what has been written within these DES, about 'ASC's and NeuroLogical Behavioural Differences (NeuroDiversity) and what the DoH and all other are going to do within the statutory duties to include all ASC's/NeuroDiverse indviduals and our Disabled Peoples Organisations.
>
> Have they stated within the Disability and wider Equality Impact Assessments that they have a statutory duty to 'consult' with all Disabled Peoples' Organisations ( 'Of, not 'For'), which is in-line with the Prime Ministers Improving Life Chancesx Report, which both you and I was pro-actively involved as ASC/ND consultnts.
>
> The DoH and all other public bodies and Government Depts still want to patronise and treat us like children and havea need to 'consult' with our 'baybysitters', from these unrepresented Charities, like National Autistic Society and other, who seem they think they have the 'monopoly'and claim upon 'Our' ASC's/ND 'voices' and 'lived-esxperiences'.
>
> NAS and no other charity and ULO's represent my 'voices' and 'lived-experiences', without my permission and authority to do so; this is the continued strong campaigning message across the 'grassroots' Autistic/NeuroDiversity, Mental Health 'Survivors' and wider Disabled Peoples 'basic' human rights and civil liberties movements (especially within the Disabled Peoples 'Direct-Action' Network (DAN) and allies) under 'Nothing About Us, Without Us'.
>
> The DoH and all other public bodies seem to be having great difficulties understanding their statutory disability equalities duties towards DPO's, and can't come up with any creative and imaginationary ideas on how to 'include' and effectively engage with DPO's, especially representatives from ASC's/ND DPO's, they still have these patronisng and outdated; 'Does (s)he take sugar atttitudes and behaviours', which is so patronising and pity and is 'Institutionalised-Disabilism'.
>
> I state this publically on the 'International Day of Disabled People'.
