Why are the politicians and media such ***** to people with Autism and ADHD?

Genuine question after seeing Kemi Badenoch's vile rant yesterday. Richard Tice has mocked neurodivergent children for wearing ear defenders in class before and Nigel Farage things you can get an autism diagnosis over a Zoom call from your GP

Barely a day goes by without the media making up some new nonsense story to attack Autistic or ADHD people

Is it just our country that's particulary cruel or is it the whole world? These people manage to combine a special mix of nastiness and staggering ignorance every time they open their mouths

  • I think that everyone knows how Hitler's regime treated disabled people, often with a lethal injection. What we are seeing now, over so many countries in the first world is the thin end of the wedge that leads to the atrocities that the Na'zis committed. I really cannot understand how someone - irrespective of age - who taunted Jewish children with the horrible fate of their co-religionists, and possibly their relatives, is allowed to lead a political party or hold a seat in the Parliament of this country. As for the people who support Farage's political party (or private company), they are one of three things: as unpleasant and bigoted as he is, woefully gullible or wilfully stupid. Farage, Le Pen etc. are playing to Hitler's strategy guidebook to gain power - Hitler was elected to power then quickly dispensed with democracy - they are a collective stain on humanity.
