Today Amnesty International UK released a report exposing the brutal reality of the UK social security system that targets those already pushed to the margins.

DR UK has authored the section on the impacts on the Disabled community.

As we conclude #WorldAutismAcceptanceMonth, we reflect on the importance of moving beyond awareness and understanding. True inclusion is rooted in acceptance.

Together, we can build a more inclusive society that recognises and celebrates the diverse ways in which we all experience the world.

Yeah, I think that particular moniker will be getting a hard pass from the autism community. www.reddit.com/r/autismUK/s...

Pathetic excuse for his disgusting behaviour.

Soldfinger16 3d ago In my limited experience of Uta Frith, she has come across as quite inflexible in her views for decades. About 20 years ago (hence my vague recollection of it) I had cause to email her about her view of dyslexia as characterised by a disorder of reading ONLY. No short term memory issues, no difficulty with orientation in space, just reading thank you very much. Her status is where her authority comes from. It's been the case that she's considered an unassailable voice for decades, and I think that's how she sees herself. Given the fact that she's such a part of the established way of thinking, it's in her interests to push for the status quo to prevent her becoming irrelevant. The current wisdom on why diagnosis has increased is very consistent across clinicians and experts in the field of autism study and mental health support. More awareness of the condition + more inclusive diagnostic criteria + the pressures created by a pandemic. She is (as other posters have said) coming across as willfully ignorant of what masking is and what its effects are. She says masking has no scientific basis. That is demonstrably incorrect. She's a professional academic and researcher in this field. This is a misleading statement at the very least. That seems central to her position. She's hedging a bit to try to keep out of hot water by saying adults diagnosed in adulthood aren't "faking" (how generous). Nonetheless she seems to strongly imply these people are not autistic. What really interests me is her misrepresentation of the spectrum itself. She seems to suggest it is a spectrum EVERYONE is on, rather than it being a spectrum characterised by specific traits that exist across different diagnostic thresholds for autism diagnosis. This is another (I suspect willful) misrepresentation. She knows better. She has to. Another red flag. This interview reads as someone threatened by the prospect of being left behind as our understanding of autism develops. I think she will get left behind, and will lash out as it happens. I'm thoroughly disappointed to read these views but can't say I'm surprised. [27 upvotes] kruddel 2d ago There is a very substantial section of research/education which only views Autism, and any neurodivergence through the lens of how it affects THEM or their sector/industry. This includes a lot of Autistic focused education, and historically basically all. They are not interested at all in how an Autistic person is, they are only interesting in how much bother the Autistics are causing them. When you look at it with that perspective a lot of the baffling things make perfect sense. Of course a heavily masking Autistic is not Autistic in their world view, because if they are heavily masking and getting by in their interactions with that person, then that person doesn't have to think about them, or do anything differently. Because that's what Autism is to them - something that is a bother to them personally. [3 upvotes]

As an autistic person in the UK I'm baffled. Inherrently we fight and stand for fairness and social justice. How has this not filtered through to the systems and institutions that are meant to help and protect us.
We are invisible.

Disabled people are already going without essentials, like food and bills.

And as @iainkporter.bsky.social at @jrf-uk.bsky.social explains, cuts to disability support risks pushing people further into poverty.

In the Uk ? Tonight on @itvx.com ITV 1 at 10pm, watch #TheAssembly then on Sunday at 10pm watch the second episode too.

This is a fab 1hr interview based documentary where the interviewers are all #autistic or have a #learningdisability
