My initial thoughts about Emily's book? It's an uncompromising portrait of what life can be like for autistic people if left undiagnosed in childhood. It's beautifully written, there are some laughs and there are points where I cried.

@AndieDelicacy Someone in urgent need of a plus one for a wedding probably.

Currently being titrated for ADHD meds, seems to have had an effect.

@Shrink_at_Large They used an episode of psychosis from the 2000's to refuse putting me on the waiting list for talking therapies.

@vitt2tsnoc As many times as they need to stuff their bank accounts with cash. Have to hand it to them, they turned a gold medal win into a career of mucking about on ice rinks.

@HarleyShah They always trot out these excuses when a government moves to ban animal cruelty posh toffs call sport. There are humane ways of dealing with foxes that get into chicken coops etc. You don’t need baying hounds and drunk toffs on horses to chase a fox to death.

@vitt2tsnoc It’s so they can cram as much stock in as possible. The Superdrug near me expanded into an empty unit next to it. The old version of the shop felt like it had more space.

@almurray That I think was likely a deliberate choice by Del Toro. You’d expect something utterly wild for a Del Toro Frankenstein film, but when you look behind the spectacle Del Toro is a really thoughtful film maker.

@Shrink_at_Large Anything to avoid admitting the truth which is poverty wages and exploitation keeps profits up. No care shown to those get chewed up and spat out of the workplace, they become the scapegoats to hide the perniciousness of the system.

[taperoo2k @taperoo2k]

@brianofarabia @Shrink_at_Large The cost of benefits as a share of GDP is stable and likely going to fall by 2029/2030. Welfare claimants are an easy scapegoat to avoid restructuring the tax system to ensure those with the deepest pockets pay a fair share of tax to fund all the things the state needs to do.

[taperoo2k @taperoo2k]

@VickiWistow @Shrink_at_Large They don’t see the reality of benefits or having to deal with the incompetence of the DWP. The middle classes will feel the pinch soon, I think this is partly why there has been hysteria around benefits. If the middle
Classes go “hang on why aren’t we taxing the rich”…..

[taperoo2k @taperoo2k]

@Shrink_at_Large Benefits = survival. It’s not about feeling owed, it’s attempting to survive in a country where we’ve lost empathy and everything is geared towards making the rich richer, while those down the pecking order fight over the scraps.

[taperoo2k @taperoo2k]

@Shrink_at_Large It’s a normalised part of society. There is an outdated view of disability that dominates the media landscape that feeds the prejudices disabled people face on a daily basis.

[taperoo2k @taperoo2k]

@Shrink_at_Large It's a funding issue, they'd love to hire staff with the right training and experience but can't. I was lucky enough to get treated by Professor John Geddes for about a decade. I'd honestly not be here if not for him.

[taperoo2k @taperoo2k]

@samhfarrell @Shrink_at_Large I've had an assessment and the RTC provider won't prescribe ADHD medications due to my high blood pressure, likely due to liability concerns. Which I understand.

[taperoo2k @taperoo2k]

@Shrink_at_Large And if you don't consent? Automatic fail? I can see them making it mandatory with some breezy language about choice. Work coaches should not have access to people's medical records.

[taperoo2k @taperoo2k]

@MrsArcanum @Shrink_at_Large @UKLabour Labour really do not value disabled people who are not working and they don’t value those who are given the cuts to the access to work scheme. It’s ableism with some eugenics mixed in aka Work Cures All things including disability in their minds. Wankers.

[taperoo2k @taperoo2k]

@Shrink_at_Large They are trying to get all the proposed changes through one piece at a time to avoid another rebellion.

[taperoo2k @taperoo2k]

@beckysowsseeds I played a little earlier, seems a lot more polished than the first game (which I love).
