		<description>Hi... 
Theres help her it can Be super fast For Peopel like my self with the ASD...But human Rights teams .And some paper work is a barrier with helping the Audults succesful jobs.Who have ASD
For There is New Rule to Be A Fit And propper Person We are ( NOT )talking about crime /But with renew of mentel health.and additional infomation about mentel health.
I have to increase awareness (HERE) and think USA obama
is leading on EQ rights-Thanks to Bill Gates.
Its just knowing who to ask for help here.

I have done 34 free corses and free training .Yes I have an apptite for learning like hard core...
Most on employmnet programs in NZ Newzealand And veary quilifide.OHS .Security licence ECT ...
And am a responsible person..Age 33
An avarage gie no important than anyperson.
I say there shuld be additioal support With requitment
but dident make it recruiting for the NZ police
Why you ask Well I hid the fact that I had Autism
Well kind of entry requirements were for you to take an Intellgents test.And What you know mine was a score of 184 The heights there but to height to become a cop! Ther requirments were Not to take on peopel that might be to Above heigh intelect and get board with there job bean a cop and leave with in one year..maybe If I was more human and got some ancers wrong??
Im a security officer now and have been for 7 yrs.
And traing my level 3 NZQA  the same as licensed private Investigator ...Its not like the TV I wanted to do store dective and cyber laws Ect ..With in the security services NZ
The prolbem is still Is the word syndrome !.!
People include the word down syndrome or dissablity under mentel health on some of the paper work.
On some liceneing of mine that takes extraordinary
Authority ther are significant number of professioonals with autis spectrum.
just to add
My self I find down syndrome peopel veary nice and kind!!And tret them withEiel right if not more..
I had this prolbem with peopels concept of the word syndrom with my Truck licence for transporting dangerous goods Licence a new fit and proper person assessment is required..This was major I was failed from geting the Endorsement even though I already had a truck licence..for one year
And when You just get real good marks peopel often think I have cheated sit test.

Your history of physical or mental health problems.
This is Right under the solemnly not been convicted for a crime! This makes mentel like diabties and color blind ness health look really bad.ok thats right have 100% on all that..
Even on my NZ M.P.L ( Microlight Pilots licence )
I have been flyig since 14 ..Now I had to do A mentel health waiver from the FAA-For my hobby yes I own my own powerd hanglider.

		<description>Hi Hilary and all, 

Thanks for this post Hilary which is very interesting indeed- and perhaps provides a model for advocacy with our own Government and Parliament. I really like the three clear simple priorities that have been articulated here- but especially the balancing of research priorities towards quality of life work. I would note in fairness that the two main parties here did included ASD specfic policies in their disability policy, and we have to be careful that the objectives of the wider Disability Rights agenda don&#039;t get lost in this. That&#039;s another thing I like about the coalition&#039;s approach- I am delighted that groups as diverse as Autism Speaks and the Self-Advocacy network are working together to put a cojent plan to President Elect Obama. 

Well done USA!!

Cheers, Matt. 

PS: Just as an aside, as a disabled researcher- I like the concept of &#039;student loan forgiveness&#039; around quality of life research. I know the new Government wants to do that for Med Students- could we do the same here?!

PPS: Also, well done to the &#039;In My Shoes&#039; team- this is a great example of practical advocacy in action!</description>
