As a but if an antidote to the pro-independence thread I thought I’d ask what positive things we’d like as a community of fellow neurodivergent people. I do believe, don’t know if it’s true, that anyone who has had challenges or suffering in life tend toward being compassionate to others too. Especially if one’s situation makes things hard to get a good paid job that allows you to get by properly, feel a sense of personal satisfaction and receive the support and understanding we do need.

Whoever gets in I’d lik3 them to see us and consider how they can help and aid us to make a positive impact on society.

    I think that's true, at least from my own experience.

    I'd have to give that some deep thought but one thing I'd like to see generally in policies is more compassion, although I realise that there is a budget to be balanced.

    That does beg the question though 'compassion for whom/what'.  

    My former party, Labour, have changed beyond recognition from when I was young.

    I've lived through a lot of governments and many changes in society.

    There is much that I feel we have lost that was 'good' and some things we have gained that I think make society 'better'.

    Good thread.  Thanks.
