1/2: Could you get behind this petition? To me, it's so important. Can you give me feedback on it —like if you don't understand it or if you think something else should be added? I might add a personal story to this. To illustrate why they are so harmful. I doubt it will be a

I tried to give him one from the shop he signed “finished” and typed “hot” on his AAC 😆

I have really painted myself into a corner 😂😂 My 16 year old son is autistic and loves cake - he is a very restrictive eater - so I made him a homemade banana cake. He is now demanding I bake one every other day 🫢🥴😆😆😆

Funny my 12 year old son got a new gold fish today. He decided that we would all choose a name and we would pull a winner from a hat. I won 😂😂😂 Our Goldfish is called “Reggie Stepper” 🤪🤣🤣🤣 I had budgies once called Buju and Beenie and my last goldfish was called Cutty

More tricky again still is the law of our country on disability which states the definition of a disability which includes a mental impairment that you may not be able to easily see unfortunately 'Brian' - that's the law and no one is getting anything more than the law allows -

1/2: Pretty much whenever you 'unpick' the Motability hate in media and on a social media it boils down to 'it's not fair' and the law in our country in very clear about that that. Section 13 of the Equality Act 2010 (part 3) says: A (the government) does not treat B (Jo

Usually those shrubs are so bushy you can't see the ground between them - duck tape 👌 Clients are always impressed when my husband protects peoples gardens - at the end of jobs he uses a blower to blow sawdust off of plants and then a hose afterwards too (trained by me) 😜😂😂😂

Its so bizarre these arguments - perhaps you would prefer a hike in your council tax bill so the council can fund two taxis out of what Motabilty costs for a whole week. These people all strike me as clout chasers - jumping on the disabilty hate wagon to raise their profiles.
Taxpayers are funding Motability cars for people on benefits which they can't even afford themselves. In the past, being in the ECHR stopped us fixing this. Under @KemiBadenoch @Conservatives would leave the ECHR and get a grip of Motability.

This is coming along nicely but the reason I am sharing is because of the shrubs - to keep your precious plants safe from builders at large with digging equipment 😜😂 you can duck tape them at the base to reduce their spread and make them less likely to get trampled and if

I like to point this out from time to time. Often, parents with autistic children will have education settings say that they think their children have separation anxiety (Lord knows I have had this myself over the years), but here is what the diagnostic criteria for separation

Incoming mushy: My husband is not that great with cards you know like writing some deep romantic message in a card, usually it's a card with lovely words written on it and signed 'love Tim' usually followed by a smiley face that always looks a bit borderline menacing

This might be useful for some people to know. What an 'intervenor' is. Usually they are used for deaf and blind children, but my son is blind (legally), has severe Autistic sensory processing dysregulation and cannot speak, which is the equivalent it is 'multiple sensory

This is yet another reason why kids like my son benefit from one consistent support person in education as far as is logistically possible, because he is so complex and complicated and impossible to read without being around him for a REALLY long time that numerous randoms just

What happens to children or people like him is they get 'pegged or pinned' (particularly because he can't speak to demonstrate his knowledge and understanding to you) which is where that word 'dumb' really comes from (it means can't speak in it's traditional meaning) which means:

My son is sixteen and has a learning disability, like in the special schools, they would put him in the PMLD classes (Profound Multiple Learning Disability). But he is way more complex than that. Like he still believes in Father Christmas and last night he looked out the window
