The Southport Enquiry

Tink

I have just listened to the awful results of the Southport enquiry which overtly mentions the fact that sadly the killer was diagnosed with autism. As soon as this was mentioned my heart sank. I really hope that this doesn't lead to a narrow negative view of neurodivergent individuals being feared as violent : (

I just wanted to seek some comfort from the community because its really upset me.

  • I don’t think so , if you read the listed key failings - as quoted in the BBC new today: “

    • It also finds a "misunderstanding of autism" meant the killer's conduct was "wrongly attributed to his autism spectrum disorder, leading to inaction and a failure to address dangerous behaviours"

    which means previously they had thought his behaviours were linked to his autism but clearly it’s something else and was wrongly linked to that
