Andy Clarke @andyclarke.bsky.social · 08/03/2026The problem is people see "disabled" and "injured" as completely different things. They know they can be injured - that's bad luck and can happen to anyone. That's what hospitals are for. But they see disability as something else. It's from birth. It's benefits, not hospitals. It's other people. 050
Andy Clarke @andyclarke.bsky.social · 08/03/2026The "diagnosed but not told" autistic people tend to get forgotten in the debates within the community about masking, diagnosis, etc. It's probably more common than we realise. We need to do more to fight the fear and embarrassment about autism that still causes parents to do it. 1143

Andy Clarke @andyclarke.bsky.social · 07/12/2025Just six minutes into watching the video and Georgia has already nailed it. The problem with the "is autism overdiagnosed?" debate is that (by using a sleight of hand) "overdiagnosed" doesn't mean what you think it means. Exhibit a: 053
