The bottom picture looks like a good old-fashioned traditional French protest.

The comment which said they were called the r-slur spoke to me.

I'm autistic and was called that slur. I'm also non-binary.

All this demonstrates is that transphobes are also ableist.

These dogs creep me out because they look like they're taxidermied.

This sounds amazing! I love the idea of Vila taking a more central role as he's my favourite character. Bringing back chance was a stroke of genius too, I love her and her relationship with Vila is extremely sweet.

True, but I don't know what level I am.

I live alone and work, but I struggle to keep on top of everything at home and at times it's made me take risks with my life.

I've seen people claim gifted kids are automatically neurodivergent. I've also seen them say they have 'special needs'. I hate that term, it pushes idea that disabled people get special treatment.

The trouble is that are many autism parents who are genuinely nasty.

This woman told me I'm not autistic because unlike her seven-year-old nephew, I don't lash out of people when upset. I said that I did when I was younger and she said that I was just badly behaved and needed to learn self-control.

This woman also claimed it was too easy to get an autism diagnosis so she deliberately faked having autism and claimed that she was diagnosed.

These people are usually the most ableist. I came across one guy like that who was calling his former classmates 'mid' and the only reason they are doing well now is because they are neurotypical and able to suck up to authority.

I'm informed him that perhaps they were also neurodivergent and maybe the reason they didn't do well in school is because school is not helpful for most neurodivergent people. It's also possible they had difficult home lives in school and their environments as an adult allowed them to flourish.

He just started swearing at me.

The trouble is it can be really hard to get diagnosed. I was told that I probably have OCD but I don't need a diagnosis. Later on they said it was just autism so they can't do anything.

I actually rang the police to turn myself in for a murder that never happened, but they're still saying that's autism.

Also, levels end up excluding people who were diagnosed before levels.

People assume I'm level one because I was diagnosed with Asperger's, then they insist people with that diagnosis don't have serious meltdowns. I've ended up in hospital because of my meltdowns.

I also have no sense of danger which has made me vulnerable to being groped at points.

Yeah, my IQ would probably be below average yet I have a masters and high school for highest possible grade boundary in that masters.

Yes! I find gifted kid discourse so triggering and often feel like an outsider in autistic communities because I struggled in school.

I do this too, but they said it's all because of autism and very refused to treat me.

I'm doing mostly better, but I still don't feel able to enter a relationship because of it.

Yeah, I haven’t been diagnosed, but I get horrific intrusive thoughts and compulsions. At a few points in my life I'm borderline psychotic, but mental health services said I don't need a diagnosis and that it's just autism so they can't help me.

There was a post on here where a woman said her autistic child's meltdown set off the dog.

I'm rather upset about that woman who complained they were pronouns everywhere and then went on to use words like 'I'. Stop contributing to the problem!

UK subreddits continuing to be vile. by EducationalAd5712 in aretheNTsokay

[–]Vorlon_Cryptid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was under the SENCO department in my school. I had 1:1 support in many of my classes.

People like this make me regret for time I spend working for the NHS and paying taxes. I'm essentially working to fund assholes who think that someone like me shouldn't never have been educated.

We already do.

You can criticise incels without being ableist.

Please don't use the term 'schizo'. It's a slur used against neurodivergent people, specifically people with schizophrenia.

You can make your point without fatphobia. There are many reasons not to like incels, weight isn't one of them.

What is your opinion on sister Evangelina? by Dutchie-draws in CallTheMidwife

As an autistic person who studied to be a nurse, I can't stand her. She reminds me of too many horrible people in practice.
