[QUOTE="colrevs, post: 3494, member: 1878"] I am one of the co-founders, with the late Mary Colley, Adrian Whyatt and others of Developmental Adults Neurodiversity Association(DANDA). I am on the Autistic Spectrum with Dyspraxia, ADHD, Dyslexia, Irlen Syndrome and comorbid mental health issues, including Complex-PTSD and also being incarcerated and sectioned in ATU's hospitals for over 8 years from 2013 to 2021 (discharged on 28/7/21) after experiencing an autistic catatonic breakdown state. I have been an autistic, neurodiverse, mental health survivor and wider disabled people's movement activist and educator since 1995 and I am a qualified social scientist, community and youth worker and various sports and leisure qualifications. I am also a qualified Mental Health Wellness and Recovery Action Planning(WRAP) educator. I have a lot of lived experiences of being neurodiverse and being one of the first children in the UK diagnosed in 1967 with "clumsy child syndrome"(Dyspraxia/DCD). [/QUOTE]
