Please sign this and share the absolute shit out of it.

Access to work has a six month waiting list currently Ito even have a consultation and even then, people who should be getting supportive workers are being fobbed off with software and online coaching.

On 22 January, GB News presenter Josh Howie repeated a homophobic slur linking the LGBTQ+ community to paedophilia. This is offensive, wrong and unlawful. Join me and @GoodLawProject to file a complaint to Ofcom :point_down: action.goodlawproject.org/ofcom-stop-g...

I would like to speak up today for the trans community.

You see, I know a bit of what it’s like to be politically scapegoated. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, suddenly anyone in America who had any amount of Japanese ancestry became suspect. Politicians preyed upon ignorance and fear. /1

Well just had my autism assessment and yes.

And I burst out crying in the meeting like a bellend. (Talking about all of the things that put you out of sorts is A LOT).

They also think ALL OF MY OTHER DIAGNOSIS ARE WRONG so I *should* get a full diagnosis for my 50th birthday, LOL.

Okay okay okay everyone. Have my ASD assessment next Thursday. Who’s done one, how should I prepare? I have notes notes notes notes.

I am thinking of making some sort of algorithm to make it easier what with my nerves.

Why am I nervous NOW?

Exactly this. I had to apply for PIP 18 months ago to help with reducing my hours (thanks to long covid/MECFS) and stay in my job rather than ending up in ill health retirement. Refused twice, tribunal coming up. Labour seem to be stuck on the idea that it's work or benefits, when it's usually both.
