Firstly: As the (annoying) commentry indicates we don't know all the facts here.
Secondly: It's a "zero hedge" article featuring PJW, so will be utter anathema to some people.
Thirdly: It's morbidly interesting, and somewhat thought provoking.

Do you know what we should do. We should have a march. They have been autistic pride march’s before. But we should have one in Leeds specifically about this. A celebration of autistic insensitivity and plain speaking. If we timed it right it might even coincide with the discrimination hearing assuming this case actually comes to court.
I know there’s a broad range of different views but I think there is at least some consensus here but what happened was unacceptable and that culture in the police and society at large needs to change regarding dealing with autistic people who say things that make others uncomfortable. Maybe we don’t have consensus on what that change should be but I think we all agree on most of us agreed that change is needed.
would people here be interested in organising an autistic pride march in Leeds to protest this sort of thing?

Remember the people you are trying to get together often hate crowds, loud noises, changes to their routine and having to socialise so as a collective we are particularly unsuited to this tactic.
Ironic, isn't it.
Who said it has to be an OG Pride march, we could make it like a socially-distanced twilight funeral procession, we could have a cohort of close-carers form a wide air-tight phalanx around the whole perimeter..
Like some sort of covid style socially distanced match maybe 2m between every person
