How the media's perception of autism changed

In an increasingly polarised political climate many previous apolitical portions of society are now 'fair game', including autism. How did this begin, and how did we get put here?

Been to an event at Waterstones tonight, discussing @samwetherell.bsky.social ‘s post-war history of Liverpool, including the denigration of the people and the city after Hillsborough. Came home to see this in the news - same as it ever was.
