| Male circumcision is as barbaric as female circumcision, it's funny how the latter they call it mutilation in the press while the former as a normal procedure. Btw the backward communities who practice female circumcision in bad conditions also do male circumcision in the same conditions, just a ti... |

No.
But it never stopped me adoring The Smiths, a big part of my life in the eighties. |

| A friend who knows me quite well has said that this is actually the wrong way round. She says I need to write to the DWP, having cancelled the ATOS for now, to find out why I need an assessment in the first place. This decision can be withdrawn in fact, if there can be a way around giving more infor... |

The squonk is of a very retiring disposition and due to it's ugliness, weeps constantly. It is easy prey for hunters who simply follow a tear-stained trail. When cornered it will dissolve itself into a pool of tears. |

| As far I've been able to find out ATOS have very few, if any, 'healthcare professionals' with autism training so I wouldn't hold out any hope of being assessed by anyone with any relevant experience. Since they have some sort of internal training courses on mental health problem (which is how physi... |

| It is also my right that the person interviewing me must be trained in the autism field and specifically Aspergers. And they would also need to prove the interview person's qualifications. I mean, someone with mental health issues as said before being interviewed by a physiotherapist is not acceptab... |

| You need to take someone with you. They assess you from the moment you step into the centre. It would look strange if you claimed "I can't go anywhere without someone" and turned up to the assessment by yourself. I second asking for the assessment to be recorded. I was lucky that I didn't need a fa... |

| Mostly, people may have heard of it but know nothing about it, then those who do can be surprised because now my speech is a lot better over the years. I often think ASD can be like carbon monoxide, you can't smell it or really see it but it is always there. |

| I would strongly suggest that you insist on a recorded interview, so they can't lie about what you said in the interview. I went for one of these a few years back and they basically put down the exact opposite of what I actually said to them. I actually worked for Atos ten years ago - not in the he... |

How do they deal with autistic people?I do not speak much and certainly not to people I don't know. Also I make no eye contact with people. How is that going to be viewed, they probably will just put ... |
