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.

These are government employees. So our tax dollars are funding ICE to flash white supremacist cards at vulnerable POC as an intimidation tactic. Who is giving this direction?
There’s something deeply sinister happening in this country right now, and I don’t think we can take three more years.

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.

It's like those VR goggles that are supposed to simulate autism, or the politicians that lived on benefits for a while to prove it could be done easily (guess what happened).
It's just a temporary tourism experience, no actual understanding necessary.

It might be worth drilling down into what it is she wants from her future role (that's if she can't figure out what that job actually *is*), by reversing the roles and interviewing *the job*.
So: what will the position bring to her? How?
Why is it suitable for her?
Is it short or long term?
(etc.)

No offence but I'm not downloading stuff from an account I don't know.
I would be interested to know:
- Who funded the research
- How many people were surveyed
- The proportion of disabled people
- How assisted suicide is defined and what information was included about what exactly it entails

Religion is not the only reason people are against assisted dying and it's facile and reductive to categorise people opposing it as "religious".
Disabled people like Tanni, for example, are simply paying closer attention to what's been going on amid the wider ableist context around disabled people.

This survey asks about support for the *principle* of assisted dying.
That is NOT the same as supporting a bill, and this particular is deeply flawed.

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.

That’s eugenics.

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.
