Me and Monotropism: A unified theory of autism | BPS Fergus Murray – science teacher, writer and 'autist' – on single attention and associated cognition in autism; a theory with a family connection… Now with 2025 update.

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

Illustration for The Sociological Review magazine's September 2025 issue. Whimsical drawing of three anthropomorphic flowers – orange, green and black against a brown and cream background – protesting together. One holds a black flag, another shouts through a megaphone, and the third listens intently with blue sound waves connecting them. Artist: Raquel Figueira

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!
