If you are an SEN parent, an unpaid carer or a sibling who shares a joy with autism you may understand the toll this journey takes on your soul.

Autism doesn’t do this, the system does.

A system based on prejudice, malice and hate filled indifference.

Believe in better

After the excellent thread by CSP Students we wanted to introduce one of our student members to you, beautiful pics of Leira for your attention 1/

Just when the Daily Fail responds with more hate speech against the anti transphobia statement by Chartered Society of Physiotherapy, this excellent species makes the best points responding to the worst bigotry by a woman who should hold her tongue more. Go Bear, be the best irate bear I can imagine!

Wonderful Allyship from Dr Gita Ramdharry ❤️ @csplgbtqia+ 🏳️‍🌈⚧🏳️‍⚧️ we are with you ❤️ 🏳️‍🌈

Remember that there is nothing shameful about acting like a victim when you are a victim. Lots of people going around shaming people for not being able to get over something is disgraceful, it’s cruel. Some people can move on others can’t. Shame the perps.

Good morning, all.
