Today is one of those when my sensitivity to heat is a real fucking downside of my autism.

If I was BBC lawyer I’d be pushing for “discovery” phase ASAP and be preparing some pretty interesting questions about Epstein and how much Trump’s personal wealth has changed since the election

A national newspaper journalist went on a British TV channel to claim police stats showed asylum-seekers committed 44% of sex crimes in Dorset. This shocking claim was treated as fact by the channel which promoted the clip on social media where it was amplified by AI. Except... it's bollocks.

Wow - those are quite phenomenal headlines given the details of the story. Ahh look, he’s just a ‘nerdy’ guy. No harm done. You need to scroll down to paragraph 13 of the Sky piece to find the full story! 🧵 1/9

I wonder if he ever met her

It's incredible to me that this still isn't the norm. I don't understand why anyone who thinks they're a journalist would ever put out a story about autism without talking to Autistic people first.

Of course he went there

Of course my MP wasn’t marching in support of the unaccompanied children housed in the city, today.

As a United fan it’s really tough watching another manager putting his resignation out on the pitch

I see Reform are trying for martyrdom on the other place.

An excellent article. Thank you Safia Middleton-Patel #actuallyautistic www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

KCC new leader announced this evening, following Reform win. You’ll be surprised by her history www.theguardian.com/politics/201...

Thread. The myth has been doing the rounds recently, unsurprisingly.

Love this letter

That concludes the political broadcast

If all you do is reinforce others hateful rhetoric, people will turn to those with the longest record of being hateful. Be the alternative. Offer actual support to those crying out for it, rather than giving them someone else who’s vulnerable as a scapegoat.

Surely ideals are a good thing on which to base policies?

As usual a media headline where the article could simply say “No”.

Irony.

My previous MP was an arse, but virtually invisible. My current one is frequently in the press but defined by hate. Guess which was elected on a Labour ticket.

I’ll give RFK jnr one thing - he’s sparked a huge volume of autistic created poetry #actuallyautistic

They speak of poison, preach of blame, Twisting science into shame. RFK, with loud crusade, Ignores the truths that genes have made. Not broken, wrong, or in distress, But wired with a sharp finesse. Don’t fear the spark, don’t chase a cure, What’s different here is strong, and pure.

He should’ve come to my hometown. I was born two years after him.

When is this type of “care” going to be treated as a criminal offence #autism 'Brutal' restraint of autistic boy in calming room www.bbc.com/news/article...

This isn’t a care home, it’s simply abusive. Should’ve been shut down #autism #learningdisabilities Care home placed in special measures by CQC www.bbc.com/news/article...

The author has moved onto attacking another minority group. I’m shocked, shocked I tell thee. I’ll be equally as shocked when my MP follows

Has the terminally stupid man stopped feeding bullshit to his equally ignorant base yet?

I know that the puzzle piece is awful but there’s no justification for this. Hate fascism more.

This will probably stay under the radar, but great to see someone with a platform go public Having autism has worked to my advantage in football - Bronze www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

*sigh* www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Never usually get to see a dead plane in the wild

This is precisely what opponents said would happen. Weakening safeguards is the opposite of what was required

Whilst most of the media and chatter is about Citizenship, the real intention is happening out of sight. #deadcat

97 weeks. That’s how long ago I applied for #PIP. Today I won my tribunal. Don’t ever tell me it’s easy to get an award.

You see a headline like this and you know what’s coming - “learning disabilities and autism.” Every fucking time. www.kentonline.co.uk/medway/news/...

If only Liz Truss, who crashed the economy, had heard of the Streisand Effect.

Dear Meta, The US doesn’t reflect the whole world.

Just had PIP tribunal hearing, online. It’s excruciating, I feel violated. If anyone says it’s easy to get PIP, please punch them for me. With a brick.

@scriblit.bsky.social Now I know why lights are still up in High Street. Happy Birthday!

Surely she’s not really this dim?

And yes, my first post of the New Year was about poor care for an autistic brother being unsupported for years. It’s 2025. Time for change.

Imagine my surprise at seeing an autistic individual being mistreated for years.

I miss my Philly friends from the other place on days like this #goeagles #nfl

“This year, I’m going to be honest, speak up for my needs and stop trying to please everyone. As an autistic woman, that will 100% turn me into a social pariah, but, honestly? I didn’t like half of these chumps to begin with.” thedailytism.com/new-year-new...

I see that author has said something transphobic again. Not even close to being about protecting women.

So, @daniellebeckham.bsky.social is a hate monger who, given her approach, has a eugenics streak. My response got me blocked. Her choice but it speaks volumes

When did NYT become so shit? It’s always been that way, we’re just more aware these days.

What the actual fuck normies WE AREN’T A FUCKING DISEASE.

Advocates might complain but #actuallyautistic individuals seem to be celebrating in the replies. Maybe their voices should’ve been amplified.
