Is this new story an example of disability discrimination or even breach of confidentiality? By mentioning the person is autistic.

Greetings. Another example of "spin" (Dictonary definition is: "a particular bias, interpretation, or point-of-view, intended to create a favourable or unfavourable impression when presented to the public.") ...Replace the term "Autism" with "Black" and the same negative-associations would occur...
...but can anyone here answer that MAIN question? To do with The LAW...??

This is a link to the protected characteristics as defined by the 2010 equality act.
It may help answer the question of whether autism should have been mentioned in the news item.
