Paul Ridley

Full time unpaid carer caring for my 36 year old son who is non verbal Autistic , has IBS & Epilepsy & was diagnosed with depression during lock down. He takes 2-1 support and also caring for my 33 yr daughter who was diagnosed with Aspergers and has self harmed in the past. Always had to fight for everything, gave up work when wife slipped her disc years ago. Now an activist & campaigner for suicide, mental health, non verbal autism, cost of living, benefits, assisted dying & Carers. All done voluntary around my caring duties and family life & all for free. I am just a normal guy trying to create change & prevent other people going through what we have been through. I also have a petition live at the moment to create an independent complaints commission for Benefits, Education, Health & Social care (Adults & Children)
