I'm not having any issues with Centrelink. If they did try me out they'd find themselves on the carpet at the HREOC in nothing flat!

I would like to know if Australians who are on the spectrum are experiencing discrimination from Centrelink, at work, in educational instututions, health care professionals, from welfare/social workers, the police etc?

To all Australian ASD people!
Three pollies in Canberra are starting to put the squeeze on - at last!
Senator McLucas (the shadow Minister for Aging and Disabilities), Senator Allison (the leader of the Australian Democrats), and Nicola Roxon have all put Questions on the Notice Paper about ASD's. And they are good ones as well. Nicola used to be my local member, and I'll be contacting her to thank her. I'll probably do the same to the two Senators. And ask all of them to keep the fight up.

Go to page 2 and you'll see a reprint of the questions (the links there don't work BTW).

Thank goodness for that! I also think one important thing politicians here and in other countries can do is get more educated about autism and get an understanding that it isn't only children who are affected by the condition.
