Alan katsoa sarjaa, jossa autistia näyttelee ihminen, joka oikeasti on #autisti.
En tiijä, onko muita moisia edes olemassa?
Sen verran harjoitin hutkintaa, että tämänkin brittisarjan alkuperäisessä ranskalaisbelgialaisessa versiossa saman hahmon näyttelijä ei oikeasti ollut autisti.

This #AutismAcceptanceMonth, I'm lighting up my website and Mastodon server *red* in support of the #RedInstead movement – a movement by and for #ActuallyAutistic people to celebrate #Autism and to counter Autism Speaks' "light it up blue" campaign.
Autism Speaks is a horrible organisation that abuses and speaks over autistic people. Let's counter their blue lights, puzzle pieces, and ableist "defecit" propaganda. #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs!

I honestly thought the UN CRPD – United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities* – was a dead certainty for incorporation into UK law
After all, the UK ratified the treaty in July 2009, under the last (New) Labour government, so it’s been a long time coming
But it seems that the enfeebled Labour opposition under Keir Starmer really don’t want to do anything the Tories wouldn’t do: https://www.disabilitynewsservice.com/labour-admits-dropping-disability-rights-pledge-from-policy-plan/
At least the Scottish Government have long made it clear that they intend to incorporate the CRPD north of the border (well, at least as far as devolved powers permit**): https://www.gov.scot/policies/disabled-people/uncrpd/
*Or in the UK, disabled people (social model)
**Not that those count for much any more, after Westminster has shown willingness to use the ‘nuclear’ Section 35 option to overrule the Scottish democratic process
