The subject of this doco sounds like the stereotype of an autistic man. Socially clueless, hyper sensitive to rejection, having zero empathy, & needing to control people & environments around him in order to be safe.

As an autistic person I can resonate (ie feel empathy) with most of this - except the no empathy bit. I know about being socially clueless. And how hyper sensitivity, to sensory input & to rejection, can make us feel that controlling our environments & resisting change is the only way to feel safe.

My neurodivergent peers understand this.

Among the autistic folx I know, most have heaps of empathy, & resonate intensely with the feelings of others. We meet - online or in person, as friends or as strangers - to communicate intensely with each other, listening deeply & offering recognition & care.

Most - not all - of my friends were raised as women.

Is there something here about how boys are raised? Boys are encouraged to feel they are entitled to shape the world & people around them to accommodate their needs, in ways women - except perhaps the most wealthy & privileged - are not. We see dominating behaviours valorised as ‘alpha’ & those who perform them accorded far more respect than they deserve.

Imagine if we all learned, as children, that we are not separate from each other - or from other living beings - & that one person’s suffering affects us all. Imagine if practices of care & compassion were valued more highly than those of domination. Imagine if our role models behaved in ways that respect all life.

I don’t believe autistic people have no empathy. I think we are misfits who feel unsafe. We struggle to make sense of the world around us, do our best to figure out what the rules are, then try to follow them in order to escape being targeted as ‘other’.

For too many boys and men, the rules they infer are toxic.

People are not our enemy.

Mount Pleasant man jailed for 11 years after rape conviction

Yogesh Parmar pleaded not guilty to both charges but was convicted following a trial on 26 January. He was sentenced on Monday by Judge Catherine Richards, who also imposed a 20-year restraining order.

The court heard harrowing details of the victim’s ordeal through an impact statement read by prosecutor Ian Wright. The victim described being “repeatedly pinned down and not allowed to leave” during the attack, saying she had “no control over my own body or what he was doing to me.”

In her statement, she revealed the ongoing psychological impact of Parmar’s crimes, explaining that the incident had stopped her living a normal life and caused her to suffer panic attacks.

“I’m still affected to this day and it’s something I feel I will never recover from,” she said. “I have a constant heavy feeling in me from what he did and it comes back to me in waves.”

The victim added that she would “never forget his soulless eyes.”

The court also heard that the trial process forced the victim to relive the traumatic incident in order to have the truth recognised.

Detective Constable Lauren Williams from South Wales Police praised the victim’s bravery in coming forward and reporting the crimes.

“Yogesh Parmar raped his victim and also made her fear that he would be violent towards her on multiple occasions,” DC Williams said. “He physically assaulted her, prevented her from leaving his home and also threatened to destroy her property.

“This was a harrowing ordeal for the victim, who we commend for her bravery in coming forward and reporting Yogesh Parmar’s crimes.

“We hope that with this verdict and sentencing, the victim can now finally come to terms with what Yogesh Parmar did to her, and move on with her life, free from fear of what he would do next.”

South Wales Police emphasised that victims of sexual abuse will be “listened to, treated with dignity and respect, and will be supported throughout the judicial process.”

The force encouraged anyone who has been sexually abused to seek support, even if they are not yet ready to report to police. Information about support services is available through South Wales Police’s website.

The case was heard at Swansea Crown Court, which regularly handles serious criminal cases across the Swansea area.

Parmar, from Mount Pleasant, will serve 11 years in prison for his crimes.
