A bit about me

single mum with two sons 21 and 12yrs, from the uk, my main interests include:

art,poetry, graphic design, family law,current affairs, childrens rights and special

educational needs, autistic spectrum disorders and the total lack of justice in the uk.

ignorance beyond my front  door

Ignorance, is all my family have known,
Indifference, when our vulnerability had shown.
Assistance, the biggest joke in their book,
Persistence, against the system that almost took.

My sons, my life, my aspie beans,
Threats to, see more than they had actually seen.
How can, I tell them that I am the same,
When they, would use it to take him again.

We three, have gifts beyond there comprehension,
IQ s that, surpass those inflicting intervention.
Why do, they focus on cause and not consequence.
Why cant, they be the positive in our existence.

I am, aspergers syndrome to the bone,
I’m not, ashamed though never felt so alone.
I don’t, want pity just a chance,
To make, the change in our circumstance.

The doc, wont admit that he was wrong,
Despite the, evidence we gathered for so long.
Expert Witness, was paid well for his time,
As long as, his opinion fitted my crime.

LA they blocked, a court ordered OT assessment,
Knowing they, were wrong and what this test meant
The judge, allowed my witness to endure
4hrs of, hostile cross examination and more.

When she, broke down eventually through the strain,
He disallowed, her evidence disputed all we had gained.
Said she, wasn’t subjective, was too close to me
she, simply reacting to their hostility ?

I was, prevented from stating my case,
2 minutes, in the stand the judge said to my face.
“If you, insist on taking this route Miss A,
I may, have to write negatives in my judgement today“.

Wanted to, prove I wasn’t an unreliable informant,
Wanted to, discuss all they left dormant.
It mattered, to me how others perceived,
Me within, this complex web they had weaved.

I saw, the judge one more time hinting I may appeal,
I knew, my son was getting a raw deal.
I wanted, to question his opinion of the facts,
Make it, clear integrity was something he lacked.

He made, it clear he would refuse an appeal,
The LA said, if I did this some concerns they’d reveal.
So I, had to back down, letting the judge to arrange,
My sons, future schooling and more assessments arranged.

But when, he’s assessed by the very same LA,
Are they, going to believe a word that I say ?
The judge, shrugged his shoulders, indifference in tone,
Said that’s, not up to me, Its up to the LA alone!

Well cheers, super judge for wasting my time,
6yrs down the line now, committed no crime.
My family, have just done a full circle for nothing,
All because, your hellbent on material things.

“We haven’t seen the behaviours you describe”,
You wont, aspergers children do have their pride.

He’d run a million miles, fly high upon a cloud,rather than
Reveal his true self and not fit in with the crowd.
Soldier like compliance is what you will get from him,
Until he’s back home,  his release then does begin.

What’s the point of telling anyone if you don’t believe a word,
Prefer to believe an SRA expert, so unjust and so absurd.
So forgive, if my frustration leaves me a tad irate,
Its clear your lack of training makes you speculate.
My son deserves a chance in life but you wont let that be,
He needs the diagnosis that even the World Expert can see….

Aspergers is genetic, all the research papers say,

All those that are in the know agree its as plain as day.

Recently, I have discovered that I have a half brother 42,

He has a 16yr old son with Aspergers so here’s yet another clue.
