I am delighted to have been selected as an ambassador for The National Autistic Society. I was privileged to attend a training day with a number of other new ambassadors many of whom themselves battle with Aspergers and Autism. I am in awe at their capacity to cope with the challenges of meeting people and raising awareness of their often hidden disability and it made me even more determined to be involved in raising awareness and striving for the right to a better life for those battling with these disabilities. We must fight against hate crime and bullying of vulnerable people, we must enlighten employers to the benefits of employing people with Aspergers, Autism and Learning Disabilities and we must fight for better funding and support for those who are not substantial or critical in their difficulties but who have a pervasive disability that affects their quality of life. With support, many young adults with Autism and Learning Disabilities can lead fulfilling and rewarding lives, we must do everything we can to help these young people to fulfil their potential.
