This is not targeted at trans people. This also affects people with ADHD, people with rare or extreme forms of epilepsy and cancer (to name a few) where the medication they require is not covered by the NHS deal with the pharmaceutical companies and therefore costs 'too much' for the NHS to cover.

Absolutely agree!!!! Same with birthday cards and gifts. If you're not a very special person to me, why do I need to give you a card (that ends in the bin) and a gift you probably don't want/need? Stupid social norms!

Yes, absolutely. For them to make the adaptations that we ask for and that would help everyone would require them to relinquish control over their little fiefdom and admit that it's not working for people.

Get a couple more ducks and then put them in a row.

True, but first you have to go buy that new notebook that's going to revolutionise your life.
And then never write in it.

No. If I wish to complain about Evri services I'll do it through legitimate channels not via WhatsApp. Don't think you're even with Evri.

Wow! Scarily true. I was raised by my mother's demons and I've had a lifetime of therapy to undo the damage.

Absolutely! I have often considered trying again as my situation has improved as far as family support, but always been unsure if that was what caused me to struggle before or if it was the logistics of organising everything myself.

Agreed! It started off better for me but rapidly became worse. Out of interest, how many of those supports were friends and family and how many were industry related?

Well I had said leave it in a safe place and I guess the bin had a lid so....I can follow their thinking, but then again I can't! Not to mention Ewwww....bin stink!

Ah, the joys of Evri. I had them put my parcel in the bin because leaving it on the doorstep was 'too unsafe'. Oh, did I mention they didn't say where they left it and I had a very confused hunt that ended in "surely they didn't put it in the bin?".

I've tried self employment, but that in itself is not great for Autistics either. Being in charge of everything doesn't necessarily make it easier. Overwhelm and burnout seemed to happen much faster and was harder to bounce back from.

Yeah, that's the one! And the irony is that this "special treatment" they think we're now getting is actually changes in the work place that would benefit everyone. Quieter environments to work in, more support from management, direct and precise information/instructions.....and on the lists goes.

Yup, I tested it. On job applications I didn't disclose my neurodiversity or poor mental health I got 'treated normally'. On those that I did disclose, I got 'the attitude', you know that one that says 'hmmm, yeah, your differences are gonna be an issue for me'.

I was meaning admitting to an employer or potential employer that you are Autistic. I don't give a crap what people think of me being Autistic, but when it comes to jobs, telling an employer means you are almost always treated like you're contagious and toxic. I'm not even sure they know they do it.

I have found one of the biggest barriers is actually admitting you're Autistic. It's a bit like admitting you have mental health problems, you're automatically put to the bottom of the pile.

So women who have gone through menopause and no longer produce eggs don't have 'real vaginas'?
