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....

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 www.theguardian.com/world/2026/s...

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.

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.

Palantir are able to embrace employing neurodivergents because neoliberal neurodiversity inclusion logic fits neatly with their far right techno-feudalist politics. This is the same productivist inclusion logic being embraced in most big businesses (universities, banks, etc.).

If that's the speech Starmer needed to save his premiership, he is sunk. Equating the Greens with Reform will infuriate voters who abandoned Labour. The man who kicked pensioners and disabled people says: "We got the big political decisions right". Incoherent and dull.

Wes Streeting is the worst possible person to lead Labour against the Reform surge. I get that zero current Labour MPs have the necessary principle, vision, and ability to connect with voters that would make a decent leader. But even with that said, its hard to think of anyone worse.
