I’m glad the Guardian article I’m quoted in is getting picked up but I wish “Don’t let the government make a list of disabled people” was a given and not something I had to argue
@dramypsyd Many thanks. This whole autistic registry thing is quite unsettling. And my worry is where does this end?
Do they decide we are incapable of making day-to-day decisions? That we are deviant in thought? That we need chaperoned throughout our lives? Eliminated?
I'm trying to avoid hyperbole here, but history shows we don't tend to single out groups of people because we want to give them hugs and ice cream.
