My autism can't stand it when people used autism as if it makes you any better than others.....
We all have our % of awful people, being ND doesn't excuse anything and we are capable of being proper idiots and awful as demonstrated here....

Nothing says “I cannot cope with lying politicians” like backing, er, Nigel Farage and, um… ‘In 2022, Delo pleaded guilty to a United States Bank Secrecy Act violation and received a 30-month probation sentence. In 2025, Delo was pardoned by President Donald Trump.’

Finding it hilarious a very privileged middle class, cambridge educated journalist who wrote about disabled women adopting "sickinflencer" identities to be 'cool'.
Regularly cosplays as working class to aggressively mock left-wing student activists as the "real" pampered elite.

The backdrop to the horrific scenes in Dover and Portsmouth is Reform encouraging fear and division and the Home Office helping with hostile policies.
So now we have massed fascists dressed in black on our streets. The Govt must name hard right fascism and then stand up to it.

Not a silver bullet, but a good touch point when thinking critically about how certain voters are portrayed by political leaders & the media, relative to the views they hold. & why chastising swathes of people without meaningful discussion only serves the powerful

Truth be known there had been pockets of anti neurodiversity organising over the last decade, with the Overton window moving to the right. Future waves will be more bolder and coordinated with working with other hate groups.
Looking forward to the next decade or so of "neurology critical" becoming a thing.

If a government's first duty is to defend its people from attack, why isn't ours defending those in the UK who live in fear of attack because of their race, sexual orientation, or neurodivergence?

Channel 4 has announced documentary “The Great ADHD Myth?” No doubt it will be advised by or feature familiar names, looking for evidence to support the conclusions they’ve already jumped to, coincidentally supporting the removal of government support.

"Mencap, Mind and the National Autistic Society warn could lead to “the biggest rollback of disability rights in a generation”."
This is all deeply worrying especially in context of so much care now provided by private for profit companies rather than safe, appropriate and compassion driven care.
