David introduces himself and talks a bit about his experiences of care and support
Please Report the Errrors?
I'm a bit
hesitant and everything
because I'm also
being diagnosed with autism, so things are a bit phased for me.
So, um,
no, I'm
a I'm a dreaded service user.
Um,
I'm from North East Essex.
I'm a trouble maker, but I don't really care.
Um
um
um, but I say I'm
I'm radical.
Um,
I just want change.
Um, why are you a troublemaker, David? And what change do you want?
Well, I just want them to actually listen to us.
I don't want them to sit there in judgement and actually go,
Oh, when they get back to their managers,
because
each
area,
because sex is a complicated area, as you possibly know,
um,
they go back to their their managers
and they say,
Oh,
now how many hours can be cut here?
We were going to give him so many hours, but we're gonna give him less hours,
but they don't actually fully understand
the complexities of someone's

Um, as I say, I have been diagnosed with autism.
Um, the social worker said once you've got all the reports and everything through,

That is absolute Excuse my language.
Absolute crap.
Um,
so fortunate. I've got a copy, and doctor's got a copy, but,
um,
so you forward that on no change whatsoever. We carry on as we are
blah, blah, blah. No, no extra support.
So basically, get lost, carry on with it, and I'll see you in a year.
Um,
it's
And also the other thing I
want to
them to change is the way in which they, um
they review our documents,
and they read the way they they don't make it very accessible.
They they are very
judgmental in their approach.
And if you get one thing wrong, they come down on you like a tonne of bricks.
Mm.
