You can be articulate and academic and still have high support needs for everyday living. This is another autism myth,those who can advocate don’t also have high support needs. This is why autism is described as a spectrum and individuals have spiky profiles.

If I’d messed up my career as much as Liz Truss I’d going very quietly away. Oh, to have the confidence of a man/woman who cannot recognise their own failings.

we would happily give up the motability WAV, access tickets etc just to rock up, see where the weekend takes us & in fact we’d probably all be going separately as support wouldn’t be needed. What we are doing is buying tickets if it rains no chance of going Swop ya, neigh sayers.

I’ve been to festivals since I was 16 ( long time) my kids since they were 10,we’ve always had accessibility issues but this year we have bigger accessibility issues. It’s like organising a military operation and we still might not be able to go ( if it rains / health etc) 1/.

The rise & membership of Corbyns new party surely should tell Labour that their policies of bashing the poor, & ignoring the rich taking/not giving, isn’t what is wanted ? .Neoliberalism has eaten its self. Expansion economics doesn’t work when it has nowhere left to go.

implications on line safety bill act is far reaching & dangerous. it’s setting people to divulge information you would never give out in usual circumstances is wide open to fraud tracking personal info. It’s ill thought out. It’s not protecting, its technological illiteracy.

son got asked not to be on disability access platform, & that he had no right to a chair. He should give it up. He didn’t argue because he’d find that difficult. His knees partially dislocated as a result as he has a hidden physical disability. He has several hidden disabilities.
This is me,I am the type of person that will get abuse from people using the Motability car identifier because I don't look disabled. You can't see my brain tumour,rheumatoid arthritis,complicated thyroid disease, immunosuppressed, leaking heart valves, swollen heart chambers etc

International Airport with bi lingual staff shocker. @marksandspencer well done Can we have more BSL trained staff too ? Disability is also a target for these people . Let’s make the world hold hands not divide.
Just landed in Heathrow Airport T3. Went into M&S. Three @marksandspencer staff speaking in another language. I asked them “What language are you speaking?” . They responded “Hindi” . I have a voice recording & their names to report to M&S. We must confront them every time.

Because I have been a carer , I had to work p/t any pension is now half of what a full time equivalent would be. Many carers don’t have a pension because they could not work. Yet we are being told people are not looking forward and saving for a pension. This is because we can’t.
