I've not really done an introduction yet, so for those who don't know me from *there*:
I'm Clear Autism, and I post about neurodiversity/neurodivergence, disability and carers rights, and related issues, in English and French (UK based but lived in France for years). Probably AuDHD but shy about it.

Happy New Month 🥳
The great thing about February is that it has only 28 days, unlike January which had 10,000

Last week, a world leader named Trump.
Felt flatulence down in his rump.
Let loose with the fart.
Turned out, was a shart.
And on national news, had a dump.

As things stand, disabled people aren't protected from a society - including many members of the medical profession - which makes ableist judgements on lives it doesn't understand or value.
Until that changes, Assisted Dying (more accurately, assisted suicide) is a danger to all vulnerable people.

This is the problem with Assisted Dying policies that are implemented without sufficient policies to ensure a right to care or a dignified life.

Opponents of the assisted dying bill have accused its supporters of bullying after key backers said they would attempt to bypass the House of Lords if peers continue to block it.
The Labour MP Kim Leadbeater and the Labour peer Charles Falconer said the government had a duty to listen to the anger among supporters about how the bill had been handled in the Lords. Continue reading...

This week, the UK lost its measles elimination status. According to the BMJ, "96.4% of those infected had not received a single dose of the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine."
Canada lost its status in November 2025.
We're going to _Find Out_ very soon what the implications are.

ICYMI: Most new IACC appointees are autism pseudoscience has-beens who were never taken seriously by the autism research community, & were shunned by the media after the Disneyland measles outbreak showed the public health consequences of anti-vaccine disinfo.
And now RFK Jr. has resurrected them.

Welp, we have a new IACC (Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee), the US government’s advisory panel for autism issues. It is entirely planted with worst case pseudosciencers who will “Fight Against Autism”—and ignore autistic rights and needs. Just awful news.

One of the dangers of normalization therapies like ABA (Applied Behavioral Analysis) is that they can interfere with parents knowing what their autistic kids’ legitimate likes and dislikes—and even personalities—are.

This cruel 'sport' results in the deaths of hundreds of dogs a year in the UK and is only legal in a handful of countries.
It's time to end it in Scotland for good.

Some people want to use slurs so badly, it's wild.
They invent all kinds of weird and irrelevant hypothetical circumstances instead of just saying, I don't want to hurt people, I'll take care.
Instead they're like, but what if I want to talk about a bunch of sticks? I NEED the f-slur!
