Imagine my delighted neurodivergent surprise to find that I'm officially being oppressed by Nigel Farage! The far-right, mini-Trumpian wank-cannon has now decided that as well as having "too many" immigrants, trans people and breast-feeding mothers, we also have too many autistic people and children with special educational needs and disabilities. As a white, cishet man, I've waited a long time for this kind of recognition! ?

Mel Merritt, Head of Policy and Campaigns at the National Autistic Society, said: “Nigel Farage‘s comments are wildly inaccurate and show that he‘s completely out of touch with what autistic children and adults have to go through to get a diagnosis or any support at all."
