Does anyone know where I can get an advocate without having to be with cmht or social care?
PohWer are not in this area. Voiceability are but you have to be with cmht or social care.
I dont want to go back to cmht after all the trouble they have caused and I dont need social care.
An advocate might get me listened to and could speak up for me.

I had the same problem where I live, I ended up contacting Autistic Nottingham and have had 2 different advocates, my current one I've had for 2 years now.
I think I Googled advocates in my area, sadly it seems that there aren't a lot of them about nowadays. -
Ok thank you, I'll try that for my local area
