I nearly came on here to spew my guts out over this absolute nonsense coming out about over-diagnosis of autism. People have no idea the level of hell I’ve been through in life absolutely clueless arseholes I’m fuming & yes I did say that but I honestly could say a lot worse right now I’m that angry

Don’t see how the ending buy one get one free etc will change anything other than my outgoings. I go Tesco & see a club card price on an item I buy regular such as coffee I buy multiples, I don’t use anymore/less than I would. It just makes future shops cheaper. Current have 5 jars in my cupboard.

Going through my medical records lately and found a simple written note by a nurse.

“Called at Lisa’s her cousin said she wasn’t home”.

It seems like a nothing comment but not long after that Mark (my cousin) took his own life aged 18. All these years later but just 😢

He be better off inviting and listening to people at the @autisticsociety.bsky.social I’m getting really tired of seeing stuff imposed on people rather than listening to them.

Trump will reportedly link Tylenol to autism - but many experts are sceptical Some studies have suggested an association between the two, but experts say there is no causal relationship.

Experts aren't "sceptical". They know these claims to be wrong and harmful.

BBC World Service - Witness History, Britain's Worst Ever Nuclear Accident A nuclear reactor in the north of England caught fire in 1957.

This is about my Dad, who was among the few people left on-site for the Windscale nuclear accident of 1957. Quite the story www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p...

Sometimes I feel like wearing my lanyard puts a sign on me that screams search me. I need it, to go down the appropriate lanes and get assistance but the downside is for what reason they think you need checking. Honestly it feels targeted and a little discriminatory.

How about they just give out free passports mainly because that would save us fortune. I honestly don’t see how ID for immigration purposes is going to end well. Have visions of SS style patrols demanding documents by the far right.

I find it really interesting that US autism politics has turned into "it's a terrible epidemic and must be eradicated" at the same time as UK (etc) autism politics has turned into "it's mostly overdiagnosed and must be doubted"

Of course the end result is the same: no need to figure out support 🙃

"But you don't look autistic" "Give it a minute, I'm just waiting for the paracetamol to kick in"

Next time someone says but you don’t look autistic…

Dear trump you need an education
1908 - Bleuler uses the word autismus
1911 - Bleuler coined the term autism.
1925 – Grunya Sukhareva: detailed social difficulties, literal thinking etc.
1943 – Kanner: Autistic Disturbances of Affective Contact
1944 – Asperger: Autistic Psychopathy in Childhood

Might have to come to that one.

Really honoured to say that on Friday November 7th, I'll be at the Todmorden Book Festival, talking about my book Maybe I'm Amazed, music, autism.... and the Beatles, Kraftwerk, Funkadelic, The Clash...

Same everywhere in one form or another. They vote leave and then moan about the small boats… failing to recognise that they did that to themselves as it ended Dublin iii regulation on leaving. 🤷‍♀️

Honestly, they will likely just throw blame at central government and frankly too many people will buy into that narrative rather than owning what they vote for.

You are going to find John thinks for himself and doesn’t aimlessly follow or back anyone.

Been reading about PFI lately and the NAO report highlighted the dangers that important infrastructure could be returned to the public sector in an unsatisfactory condition.

It’s that time of year again — popped into the blood donation centre. As an O- donor, I know how vital it is to give and help others. If you can spare an hour, please consider booking an appointment. my.blood.co.uk

Thank you

Thanks John

Thanks

Omg I am blown away, I honestly did not expect to get a distinction (87%) in my tort law end module results. In the words of one of my daughters…. Slayyyy.

My daughter did this with her grandmother today at her graduation, I nearly ended up crying 🥰

I honestly couldn’t be prouder of this girl of ours, graduating with a bio medicine degree at university of Liverpool today. Congratulations Katie Clarke we are all proud of you 🥰

I understand your point I think many are worried that we had nothing but instability with the last gov and have the view that the pop are looking for stability now which makes it harder to move on. I think a good leader is one who listens to those with life experience, making things better for all.

Question John, not a fan of the things he’s doing but if not him than who? Don’t think I’ve seen a leader yet who could cross divides and appeal to the wider demographic 🤷‍♀️

Really upsets me John, they was suppose to bring about change, hope, compassion and a better future for everyone. Now I just worry how many with disabilities will give up on even living. 😢
