Not every autistic person has the ability or capacity to be a "contributing member of society," and that is OK. We are all interdependent, we all depend on each other—some more, some less. That's how society should function, ideally. #neurodiversity #disability #autism

BREAKING 🚨
The updated EHRC Code of Practice has now been sent to the Government. The Code is just as bad as we feared.
It would mean a mandatory trans bathroom ban, and trans people's exclusion from public life. The impact would be devastating.
But politicians still have time to stop this.

I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees.
No refugee underfunded a school.
No refugee closed a hospital.
No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled.
We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!

Panic attacks aren’t “just anxiety”. They can bring a racing heart, breathlessness & dizziness so intense it feels like a heart attack. Believe people, stay calm, no judgement. Awareness breaks stigma – you never know who’s battling one right now.
