It's ridiculous that only 20 tickets were available to this & disabled people were kept from having their say. There's only ONE in-person consultation event in the whole of Wales & the info didn't tell you the date or location. Just that it was 'accessible' (by whose standards?).

Good to see barriers/attitudes towards disabled people at work also being shared at this Committee. More support needs to be given to both employers and people with disabilities/neurodivergent conditions to create more inclusive and more diverse workplaces.

Really worth watching back today's @CommonsWorkPen evidence sessions on the government's plans for cuts/changes to disability & incapacity benefits. Great contributions from @EllenClifford1 @Jamestaylor2 @davidfinchthf @DisRightsUK & @Rethink_ among others

Love this 🥰 sometimes when u share my special interests people give me a funny look. But the calm, joy and emotional regulation it brings reinforces the importance of our ‘weird’ and wonderful #actuallyautistic interests 🥰.

Children and/or adults having "weird" special interests and hobbies isn't a bad thing. It's a key to our individuality. And can actually be a great career path too for many. It's "weird" that often results in societal progress.

Thank you so much to @care_wales for inviting @LdWales along to your event this morning. It was inspiring to hear about all the work you’ve been doing with service users, their families & stakeholders to form your new strategic plan. The passion in the room was evident ☺️

Absolutely right @Autism. I do love the fact that everyone thinks they just 'hand out' diagnoses these days. Like you walk in and they give just them out. The misinformed media are just exacerbating this & supporting those wanting to score political brownie points.

Nigel Farage’s comments are wildly inaccurate and show that he’s completely out of touch with what autistic children and adults have to go through to get a diagnosis or any support at all. For the record, absolutely no one has got an autism diagnosis through the GP – this is just

It's important to keep sharing stories like these to show the real impact of cutting PIP. It just shows a lack of understanding by government about what benefit does what. Cutting PIP and Access to Work will definitely impact people with disabilities already in work.

A teacher at school used to call me 'Beth with the flappy hands' and even added it as a line in a song they wrote about the class. It was something I was made to feel really embarrassed about it. Glad it's being talked about more & in a good way #ItsHowYouShowUp.

Georgina often flaps her hands to help her stay calm or when she is extremely happy. This is a form of ‘stimming’, which many autistic people do. When autistic people express themselves, they shouldn’t be met with stares or unkind comments:
