Government want to look at disability bank accounts to see what we are spending on: this is not good for us autistic.

I read that the government are wanting to look into all disability claimants bank accounts to see what we are spending money on and they can then say that oh! you spend the money on a certain item you should not so we are now going to cut your money. 

This is something that they hope to do in time, it has been on the online news. 

This would be terrible for us autistic people because a lot of people do not understand autism and how diverse we all are: 

for example: autistics might buy the following some might not and need other things for their autism: 

Felt tips, paper, pencils art things: they would not understand that this helps us stay calm by being creative and can help stop us going into further meltdowns etc. 

A computer and games: same reason as above

A piano and sheet music: could be a special interest and is needed for the autistic person and help stop meltdowns too. 

Fancy clothes: for me its 1950s style clothes, to express myself and I cant stand to wear certain clothes

Gluten free foods, special travel like a taxi as buses might be too stressful that day

An indoor clothes drier to stop damp 

collections of trains or magazines, comics etc 

Some people who dont understand autistim and will think that oh they are buying what they want not what they need, tut tut, they should not be buying that. 

What about the autistic that goes on the trains all day because they like it is sooths them. and then someone will say well if they ride trains all day let them work on the trains, but that autistic might be able to talk to people one day but then another day might be mute or unable to and could not work. 

yes there are autistics that can work, and those that work long term are ones that got lucky finding their job that is good for them for example they like action figures so work in a forbidden planet. and are okay with people as long as they are talking about the products. but others cannot cope with work at all. 

I feel that the government need to understand autism much more. No two autistic people are alike. 

What about the person who is has to pay for a private dentist because they dont like the building their local NHS dentists are in for example, and need to have the calm of a private dentist that understands . 

Some autistics might have to spend a fortune on a pair of shoes as they cannot wear cheaper ones for what ever reason (the way they feel etc) 

these are not all conditions or needs I have just listing how diverse we all are and why this new plan is not very nice. 

Because it is scary somehow, big brother is watching you type stuff. 

It also puts non-disabled people against disabled people they dont understand, they have never seen an autistic meltdown for example 

 

  • it does, many middle class have holiday homes abroad.

    infact some working class do.... you know, my union rep at work whos just a cat c driver or something, he has a home in spain and hes always traveling globally... .the middle class are globe trotters and champaign socialists who look down on us true working classes. they think they are better than us and discard our ideas because they are better educated. they claim to be working class and poor themselves when it comes to political talk because thats how they manipulate and trick people into voting what they want.

  • I think you have a weird idea of what middle class actually is. The definition is a group that consists of well-educated people, such as doctors, lawyers, and teachers, who have good jobs and are not poor, but are not very rich. Holiday homes abroad doesn't come into that, at least not for any of the many teachers, lecturers and professionals I know.

  • i dont trust the middle class, i think they put their fancy foreign holiday homes abroad above the running and betterment of the country and its peoples.

  • they are though.... if you see the policies you notice that labour and the tories often leap frog each other...

    infact jeremy corbyns policies when he ran against borish johnson he promised LESS to the nhs that what boris did... so how does that match with everything you get told? ... it doesnt doesnt it? ... why do labour do this though? .... its a simple phenomena of winning voters over... you see labours worry is that everyone will think they will overspend on things... and so because of that they seek to try spend LESS on things that the tories or aim to not go too far above them, then the tories get worried they get seen the party of cutbacks so they want to promise more spending than labour... so this effect you get the parties becoming opposities, in that the tories will end up spending more than labour while labour will end up cutting back more, all of this is to control themselves for voting, to not seem as bad as their criticism.... but yet this effect acts also as a rubber band in which both parties do infact get stuck together, closely aligning policies together.

    have you seen labour criticising the tories? .... they say the tories arnt cutting migration as much and attacking them on that, this shows labour is saying they will crack down on migrants harder... hate the tories for cracking down on migrants? ... well, labour are saying they will crack down harder on them... likely labour will also take a point of cracking down on benefits too because they will likely point out how benefit spending and fraud is high under the tories and point out its incompetent and they can do better, and so they will crack down on that more... this is what real politics is like, there is no feeling or emotion, there is just governing and issues and trying to do better than the other at it... labour isnt pro migration, all the government see migration as a problem to fix, labour is saying they can fix the problem better... this is politics... problem plus who can fix it better... if benefit fraud is a problem then no party is on your side in stopping benefit fraud measures, both parties will be trying to be the best at tacking the problem, because that is politics... one upping, doing better than the other at fixing the problem.

  • Familiarity breeds contempt. 

    Once a party is in charge, for so long, things will unravel. 

    Same is true with Sinn Fein and the ANC. 

  • My income is such that I have to keep an eye on my money closely so there's no room for me to let it get away from me.

  • That’s what the SNP was 20+ years ago. Now it’s just a cult full of people that don’t even agree with each other and can’t explain their only real policy.

    It’s basically a social club for misfits.

  • I said the party that MOST closely aligns with my personal values. You're right, no party will ever entirely match them, but most of the time I am able to choose one that is close enough.

    I believe in equality for all, regardless of social status, gender, sexuality, race or ability, and that some things should be a universal right, like water, food, a home, warmth, education, healthcare and the right to live your life how you wish. I believe we as a society have a responsibility to look after all members of our society, with no qualifications on that.

    Those beliefs don't tend to fit well with the Conservatives or their values, or at least haven't so far in my nearly 40 years.

    There is a difference between the parties, and as a disabled bisexual woman with a mental health condition, a disabled son, a husband with mental health conditions, and friends and family who are also not generally liked by the Tories, I resent being told that they're all the same because with regards to me and mine, they absolutely aren't.

  • The Empire call the shots.

  • SNP is national socialism.
    its a nationalist party... that claims to be socialist... its national socialism then?

    although they now have a iranian in charge of their party that hates scottish people lmao its pretty weird 

  • good for the majority the sounds like populism, majority rule, stuff that disfavours minorities which the left are championing above the majority these days as they put minority above majority now as is majority is evil and minority is virtuous

  • it's not too distinct an idea from Socialism. Which is also believe in.  it's about doing the greatest amount of good for the greatest amount of people.  So, to use an example.  If one party had a policy of employing one more  nurse than another party, I would vote for that party. As I would be helping to do good.  Think of all the good one Nurse can do in the world.  Then times that Nurse by 100.  All the cancer patients that would be treated.All the elderly that would have someone to hold their hand.  The utility of my vote would help bring that slightly better world into being.  It doesn't bother me that that government will then turn around and do things that I  disagree with. Because why am I so special? I'm just an ant. A part of a collective.

  • And SNP types here in Scotland, although I think that may be changing now at long last 

  • Three months rent up front, in cash, means you don't need to faff about with having references evaluated..

  • yeah i think she only got to that power position anyway because people though she was tough on russia... but turned out she was all talk and she was weak. backing down from any position at the first sight of trouble. she shouldnt have stepped down she should have carried on. in stepping down she proved she was too weak, her tax ideas would have worked, and the latest budget shows that rishi sunak is backpeddling now and trying to do liz trus style tax cuts himself as his tax raise idea has fucked things up for the economy

  • i dont see the point in CBDC as they have direct debit anyway which is digital cash.

    i think CBDCs are just a attempt to try kill crypto currency.... of which crypto currency is equally pointless and wont be used for anything but increasing ones own fiat currency anyway lol so its a self defeating thing considering everyone getting into crypto are not getting into it to replace cash with it but instead to get more cash out of it. which does show cash is king.

  • I hated on Liz Truss (when it was relevant) because she encouraged people to go and fight in Ukraine then when some of those UK fighters were caught and threated with execution by the other side (which didn't actually happen, I was glad to see.) She threw 'em under the bus saying something akin to: "They chose to be there". 

  • It's about allowing the Immigrants, and Underclass, to outbreed, in order to outvote, the Middle Class.
