This website will serve as an information resource for people who suffer from autism and as a place where people who have suffered discrimination based on autism can share their stories.

Autism, one of the invisible disabilities, is one area of modern life where discrimination is often allowed and sometimes encouraged. Changing people’s attitudes about such things takes a long time and a great deal of effort, but as always, it is better to start somewhere than simply accept the way things are.

I decided to create this website in August of 2018, after over six months of struggling to get the NHS to recognise and address discrimination against me, by at least one staff member of my local NHS surgery. I have been stuggling uphill against a nurse who initially reviewed the case but did not look at discrimination and was not aware of many of the facts surrounding the case (her suggested solution involved communication methods which had been deactivated for this surgery), against the NHS Choices website where they will accept false information from GPs but will not allow me to mention any wrong doing whatsoever, and against other NHS staff members who have clearly decided to circle the wagons and collectively obfuscate and evade.

I do not wish my own struggle against the NHS to be the sole focus of this website and I hope to gather details of many other people’s stories of discrimination based on autism.

I hope to make the website active, in a basic form, before the end of August 2018.

I am located in the UK. I do not intend to restrict this website geographically and hope to gather stories from people all around the World.
