@itvnews: Fiona Laskaris is calling for a change of law after fighting for years to get help for her vulnerable, autistic son, Christopher. Christopher struggled to live independently and was ultimately killed in his own home by a convicted criminal who took over his flat and exploited him. #itvnews

People who are autistic as myself no matter what end of the scale are far to trusting and empathetic towards other people’s troubles and I study Law and still am to trusting ime so sorry this happened

I look after two vulnerable adults who are my siblings, both my parents died in the last four years two years ago just over? I’ve given up everything moved in and now looking after them both full-time it’s my pleasure to do it but my health is failing. no family help I’ve just got to get on with it. It’s a shame this young person has been subjected to this sort of treatment. I’m shocked and disappointed and worried that nobody will look after them like I do 🥺 it seems you just don’t count when you are different

I have an autistic son is 21 and still at home with me. This is my fear that if he leaves home this might happen. He maybe 21 but his mind is 12!! No matter his age I’ll always protect him

Under the Care Act, capacity is assumed and it is the burden of the organisation, not the person, to prove otherwise. Mum needed to request a needs assessment, and request a care act advocate.

The way we treat the disabled needs to change and not the way the government is currently suggesting

Why did it take the Mum 2 whole weeks to report a problem with her vulnerable Son? Why didn't she speak to him daily? Why didn't she go to his flat and bang on the door?
