Slightly different slant/tread on this as this kid could have easily been me: I'm a Dyslexic, dysgraphic, ADHD (& likely austic, dyscalculic, dyspraxic (almost certainly) as well as having a statement of special educational needs, son of a single mum (never met my dad). TW π§΅1/10
βWeβre on the edgeβ: I earn Β£60k, and Β£20k goes on private school for my son

Tents: famously accessible homes. These people are disgustingly cruel.
@AliArthPainter @richardosefton If weβre paying for those homes, letβs dial down the luxury and make them tents. I bet a few disabilities would disappear very quickly. Miracle remedy! Tough love!

Just because we don't currently knowe cause for certain conditions or symptoms, it doesn't mean that there isn't one. It just means we haven't found it yet... And we may never do so given how complex bodies are.

I can't tell if these people are ignorant on purpose
@Carlynotcarley What hobbies? What kind of entertainment do you enjoy? What sort of styles do you wear? There's many ways to have a disability but not make it the focus of why you choose those hobbies, clothes, etc. When all your talk is how your disability causes problems, that the issue.

Disabled people don't 'overcome' disabilities to be your inspiration porn. We just learn to live with them and manage them. Fuckin weirdos.

The UK is ranked among the most nature-depleted countries in the world, with huge loss of biodiversity. Zero consideration for protecting nature from Labour Party. Zero consultation with communities impacted by their decisions. Itβs why I joined Green Party. #ProtectNature
Every time they do one of these silly attacks ads - Green Party membership rockets. And with weak sauce like this - it's no surprise we're overtaking them in polls. Feeling inspired by a Zohran Mamdani victory? https://t.co/0qbagSvIYp

Zohran's campaign was his determination to make New York a city everyone can afford to live in. Huge congratulations! His success will resonate throughout the world. A story where no one is left behind. It's time to write that story across England & Wales too.

A reminder that Dan Wootton is an immigrant. And almost certainly a criminal. By his own admission of using filmed sex for blackmail. He should be deported.

Do the ableds realise that they are in fact allowed to lease a car right? Because that's what they're screaming and crying about.

Autism being a "disorder" implies neurotypicals have "order" which they very clearly do not

The general public has a lot of misconceptions about chronically ill and disabled people.
