#DoctorsAreDickheads isn’t attacking the NHS – it’s giving it an opportunity

November 15, 2018November 15, 2018 / QueerlyAutistic / 1 Comment

These hashtags should not be seen as harmful to the NHS. Instead, they should be seen as an opportunity to listen to patients, listen to disability activists, and instigate reform that could change the NHS for the better.

I Would Have Taken A Cure – Which Is Why We Must Stop Looking For One

May 14, 2018 / QueerlyAutistic / Leave a comment

I shudder at the thought of it being an option to other vulnerable young autistic people, never giving them the chance they deserve to come through it and learn a sense of pride in who they are. 

Autism Awareness vs Autism Acceptance

April 2, 2018April 2, 2018 / QueerlyAutistic / Leave a comment

Forced Socialisation (and the toilet-door graffiti that saved me from it)

January 26, 2018January 26, 2018 / QueerlyAutistic / 1 Comment

January 16, 2018January 16, 2018 / QueerlyAutistic / 2 Comments
