"On Wednesday, Corner, who is #autistic & squeezed an anti-stress toy while giving #evidence, said that before he struck Evans he was anxious, scared & panicked, having been sprayed 'straight in the face' with #PAVA #spray - similar to #pepper spray - & heard his co-defendants screaming." FYI, @guardian, PAVA spray is WORSE than pepper spray! See: https://howardleague.org/pava-spray-explainer/; https://www.chemspider.com/Chemical-Structure.2891.html. It should NEVER be used against an autistic person!
