@TransportActio2 Or even the needs of people in the 21st century.

@NexQuestVT Surely we accommodate people regardless of diagnosis?

[Pengwin @Pengwin4rd]

@WorkMHLeader @sensorystories_ What support are you referring to, though? Reasonable adjustments at work are supposed to be based on need not diagnosis. That's the only available support I can think of.

@forestvanslyke Does it not sound like this to everyone?

[Pengwin @Pengwin4rd]

@StepoKedur @Ord_Off So you want equity

@NDSA_UK As usual we can't read the blog as the link doesn't work. Please can you fix this? 🙂

[Pengwin @Pengwin4rd]

@PollyTixNE @SaulStaniforth Officially, yes. But the workplace wouldn't allow it, so they'd have to starve.

@TheRealBaldGuy_ At least this hits freezing temperature.
I'm in the amber snow/ice zone with a predicted minimum temperature of +1 🤷‍♀️

@ItsEmilyKaty I think it's very similar to keeping a pet dog at home and taking them for walks. There must be an ethical debate there, but if the dog is well looked after and appears happy most of us would accept it.

[Pengwin @Pengwin4rd]

@ItsEmilyKaty When I did this the dogs were SO excited to run. Some would bounce around and others would lift their legs to help put their harness on. At the end of the day they preferred to sleep on our beds. Very much like other pet dogs 😃

@MrsRieB @SendDopaminePls They're also assuming your supervisor will speak English. Mine would be like "meow".

[Pengwin @Pengwin4rd]

@DrNeilStone We know.
You're just trying to stir up an argument.

[Pengwin @Pengwin4rd]

@helen_barnowl @btwnrevolutions This!

@thassmad @jesserexic @peppy2861222946 @btwnrevolutions Neurotypicals are insufferable for us to be around. They should also try to better themselves.

[Pengwin @Pengwin4rd]

@Kat22002244 Ah, I misinterpreted "it should be..." as you thinking it wasn't like that now.

Excuse me stating the obvious then.

[Pengwin @Pengwin4rd]

@martin220368 @Alex4Craig_Dudd Correct, but people don't think like this. They only consider the fuel and decide that driving feels cheaper.

Making driving seem cheaper isn't a helpful policy.

[Pengwin @Pengwin4rd]

@hmtreasury I'm confused. Are people who don't drive not in their local community anymore?

[Pengwin @Pengwin4rd]

@eclecticherbal @sensorystories_ Reassuring that it can work sometimes.
I made the mistake of going on gender change day. Fortunately I was discharged for non-compliance. ie refusal to say that I wanted to change gender.

[Pengwin @Pengwin4rd]

@eclecticherbal @sensorystories_ The shocking thing is how doctors and researchers get to disregard actual peoples experiences. We give them so much power.
Seeing a psych is like taking your broken arm to hospital only for them to say they are doing legs today, so you get no help and now your leg is in plaster
