What instructions will the Gov issue, to upload the digital ID card onto my phone? Until they supply me with a smartphone & pay for it's upkeep, they can forget it. Even if they did, I'd still choose not to carry a smartphone.

Learningdisabilityandautism is used as a portmanteau word as it's a convenient way to hide #autism within the budget of learning disability services. It excludes the 70% of #autistic pple with no lds.
To separate the words would mean admitting we exist & have rights to #inclusion.

The reality is that this is deliberate, from Govts through LAs to service providers.
Lack of appropriate care is against the law, but condoned as ignoring us is cheap & #AutisticElders have little voice.
I've been advocating for provision for older #autistic people in policy & services for years.

How inappropriate is it possible to be? Jeez...

The ferry is part of the journey I described. I like ferries - it's the 12+ hours on multiple trains, etc, to get from Norwich to the ferry, that I can't do with a suitcase.

The @teamlabouruk.bsky.social has become nasty & vindictive. Starmer is poisonous to anyone who doesn't bow to his agenda. This iteration of a Labour Party has nothing to do with Labour principles of a fair & equal society.- or any principles at all. #DianeAbbott #LabourParty #Starmer #LabourPurge
