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.

I don’t think anyone can look a starving child in the eyes and refuse to help.
This is an electric charger at a hospital . Not exactly disability friendly.

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.
Not said as a joke Facebook comment about local park & the amount of goose poo caused by Canadian geese They literally said ‘birds are forms of migrants are the issue here’. Satire cannot survive in a world like this ! Okay Jonny next benefits ? yes get them cleaning poo🫤

‘the training is not fit for purpose. This is because it was none other than the big outsourcing companies with the multimillion WCA contracts themselves, namely Maximus, Ingeus, Serco, and Capita, who compiled it.’ thecanary.co/uk/analysis/20…
Thing is I’m mentally quite happy to keep working but my body has a side agenda . That’s called getting old . It happens to us all . Dying with your severance pay in your pocket is something my union Dad fought against. Real workers rights means enjoying a retirement.
Then they wonder why benefits for disability have increased will increase .
