I fully support the right to die, but it needs to go hand in hand with the right to life
No one should be offered death in lieu of treatment
You shouldn’t be able to access MAiD in 3 months when it takes over a year to see a specialist
You shouldn’t be told to “consider dying” when you want help

There's no reflection, no stock-taking, no hint that it was, perhaps, their responsibility to know earlier. Just powerful people making excuses and repeating each others' excuses.

I see the “technically it’s ephebophelia” crowd is out today, so just a reminder that A) this is NOT a case where technically correct is the best kind of correct and B) the minute you say this, the gods dump you in the “irredeemable creeper” basket and wash their hands thoroughly after touching you.

There are two areas of emerging research that change EVERYTHING about autism awareness... and I wish more people were talking about them...
1. A study found evidence to suggest that "mild" stress can trigger PTSD like symptoms in autistic brains

In letzter Zeit lese ich verstärkt Beiträge über die Hintergründe (ver-)störender Verhaltensweisen, die sich (zumindest gemessen an den Kommentarspalten) in Spannung zueinander zu sehen scheinen. Als wären Konzepte wie Neurodivergenz, Traumapädagogik oder systemische Sichtweisen in Konkurrenz

In response to the proposed government disability cuts, I wrote a piece about my life before The Daily Tism (it includes a PIP assessment, a mental health crisis and iced Madeira cake). We’ll fight this with everything we’ve got.

I’m an autistic writer who is finally working. Without PIP, I wouldn’t have had a chance
How do you explain a PIP assessment to somebody who’s never had one?

Like other rich autistic arseholes, it's NOT the autism that makes him an awful person, but it does help explain some of the particular ways his awfulness manifests.
