  1. Suzanne Warburton Me too. There's content elsewhere about undiagnosed mums.

  2. Spitfire VBTROP It's a bit of both. I think isolation can be son powerful, and for those girls that sense of community looks wonderful. I don't think they're being warehoused. But I do identify with seeing that risk as well. I think "lower functioning" people are at greater risk potentially. Or the whole spectrum of autism and indeed meta of other differences and diff|ability, or indeed disability, will be misunderstood by public perception' viewfinder control, VT editing. There are some difficult questions but that doesn't make them less worthwhile. Registers for people with learning disability scare me in this worldwide political climate, but the intention as sold is to improve service provision. And get information to people. Get understanding too. But a racial register or similar is reacted against for the same reasons that might apply. Equality data is one argument or thing and a register another or is it. Really things should be set up to be a society friendly and open to understanding everybody at every point of contact from the get go. We won't get there immediately. It is hard to summarize and reach an upshot even where we share core values. Do we push through, sideline any attempt at registration or community or non integration as best we can!? Maybe it's more practical to start setting up underground railroads for autism, learning disability, all physical and sensory disability too, in advance. Or maybe find our Xavier and the crack teams of X-men to defend schools like this!!!???

  3. Miele Rodriguez I disagree with you.

  4. Loved the bit with your parents! They remind me of all the people that make me love the Labour Party who I grew up with. Can they, or people like them, be the successors to Jeremy Corbyn please!?

  5. I quite possibly have autism, my son is diagnosed and I myself went through a lot of what these children went through (that's why I can see the value of camaraderie these children obviously have) but for me it was fairly inconclusively then, my mum decided it was just part of everybody being different and took against the idea of labelling. Until they thought I might have dyspraxia, her and my auntie. Neither of then would have thought autism in a million years though probably. Politics and quixotry are obsessional interests. That's often how I write because I can't contain and edit my thoughts so well and the more I try it can result in longer comments or nine at all. I can see why it's difficult to read and engage with though.

  6. Let down by Britain. By Thatcher. By Blair. And there's no reason Corbyn should resign.

  7. Ditch the red flag and the insulting name and bring back clause four part four, added to with the definition of sustainable development to come out of Rio's Earth Summit in '92.

  8. Spitfire VBTROP Thank you for reading though.

  12. This is lovely and quaint and strange all at the same time. Jon Snow, ha. Flirting for England!

  13. Oh dear. Been on YouTube too long today. Just breaking into hysterical giggles at your face on the beginning of this one right from seeing it in thumbnail. Still at it. Literally, cry-laughing. And I never do that. Only very very occasionally!

  14. What does John McTernen mean about the founders? And how does that contrast with your mother's impression of what the Labour Party is supposed to be? These origin myths, our storytelling of our history, needs examination in more depth, mire as it can be. Things like the songs of protest programme recently, though I didn't see it nor do I know what channel it was on, that's part of that discussion about origins and purpose, and brings out affectionately remembered nostalgic sights and sounds, I guess. Sometimes though it all feels like one big set up. Related to that counterpoint of paranoia, I am not sure you're doing Clive Lewis any favours. 😯

  15. I am not fond of elitism. But if you're going to start dishing out diagnoses without reference to the Hippocratic oath, I should think you'd remember your place! Is anti-Corbyn is the right of the Labour Party with a hefty dose of 70s/80s/90s bred entitlement? Everybody is the leader of the free world! And everybody else must hear you roar!

  16. Patronising, sexist, White Feminist tm, White Knighting, taking the low road because this stuff is important and you are a higher being who can handle it.... that's not the people who are the real friends of Corbyn nor the real and electable labour party as they might see it on the other hand. That's like the demon possessed woman who followed St Paul causing disruption declaring at the top her voice what Paul was doing, causing a disruption. It's not about whether you avoid the foul language, but what the spirit of your intentions are.

  22. Divinification is a doctrine much neglected. Apotheosis for the humble. However, Wesleyan hymns mean many have claimed the crown through Christ their own.

  23. The whole universe transubstantiated. Strictly. But anyway...

  24. Is harmony a gift, or a shift in sync. Is dissonance shifting, pushing away or moving out of phase. Is a universe that is all dissonance, harmony? Is a universe that is all dissonance shifting?

  32. I'm not totally out of the church but I've had some similar experiences with Christianity. With wrestling with LGBTQQAIK issues. And a strange relationship with certainty. University and 'career' much less driven though, and the next steps there are have been scary and unclear what you're trying to be part of.

  33. Race is a social construct but social constructs are how we interact with the world. That doesnt mean it's a scientifically accurate or helpful set of associated traits, terms and ideas. And culture isn't downstream of race, whatever that means. It's more complicated. Their cultural identity is British, as said near the start of the interview. For some populations - or ethnicities - perhaps they converted to a religion as a clan group, ethnicity, or have a largely tribal/ethnicity-speficfic religion - which is one reason why it's hard to seperate racism and religious hatred. And anyway? What is your concluding point, again!? Nobody is the same, within populations and between them, so what!? The nature of that difference is badly mythologised. Genetic diversity encodes all sorts of traits, broad-brush pigmentation categories tied with general geography don't make for general trait sets or sound correlations, neither do small data sets either. Within Africa there is more variation in skin colour & pigmentation than in the rest of the word put together, and diaspora communities, such as african americans are distinct again, but it's not directly tied to their pigmentation or representative of the nominal construct or group - but it is to do with variations of rare & specific muscle twitch genetics that are part of general variation, to the point that it's not a racial genetic characteristic by any means. Just a culutural phenmena that a few black people who are good at running do running.

  36. What does it mean though!? He didn't say it was a lie, he said it was meaningless and wasn't tied to or representative of the population's genetic traits on the whole. The race-myth of different muscle types being racially specific is the lie; and that is competing against the ideas of socially mediated selection, environmental factors, acting on raising the profile of a successful subset: membership of which is a mixture of those social mediating/social-selecting factors and general variation in relevant traits and not representative of the whole set - such that he lovingly tags to freaks! Average black person isn't a latent sprinter necessarily. It's difficult to even define a group to average from, but so far as people do steretypes are not gentic inherent traits across the population and are unfair steretypes. Within black peoples, there are opposite tropes - Kenyans have a big part in long distance running and though altitude is a part of it, it's not the whole story. But that blows apart the story that it's all black people have a pro-sprinting trait, because the muscle trait is opposite. There are factors selecting against swimming prowess that he listed that are all social.

  37. "you've taken a data point like Cummings has and you haven't done the work to understand the context of that to understand what that actually means"
