AT-Autism

As previously reported, our board has now carefully considered our position on our continued presence on X and has decided to close this account. Thank you to all our followers, who we hope to see on our alternative site @at-autism.bsky.social.

@RightToLifeUK Exactly

Kim Leadbeater’s remarks suggest ‘being a burden’ is a valid reason for assisted suicide. As sponsor of the assisted suicide Bill, this is even more disturbing. 😨

@Miss_Snuffy This is not a logical simile. Imaginative approaches to encourage participation is part of the education of children and good teachers recognise this.

The fact that we think 14 year olds should decide which teacher gets hired shows how little respect we have for the profession. 😳 Absurd. Imagine a 14 year old advising a heart surgeon how to cut open his chest.

Journalist Sonia Sodha makes a compelling case against assisted suicide - well worth hearing 🗣️

The board of AT-Autism is currently reviewing our continued presence on this platform and will be announcing a decision shortly. We will retain our #BlueSky presence. @at-autism.bsky.social #autism

@Dis_PPL_Protest Coming during the debate on the #AssistedDyingBill, is it any wonder people are worried?

#DWP #UnemplymentSocialInsurance Disabled people could face benefit cuts – even if they cannot work, Citizens Advice warns bigissue.com/news/social-ju…

@ddhitchens and this is even before it gets going. Just watch the categories expand if this celebrity endorsed #AssistedDyingBill passes

Some reasons people might apply for an assisted death, according to Kim Leadbeater and Lord Falconer:

@PolInsideOut @GloriaDePiero @Richard4Watford @JonAshworth Extraordinary arrogance to say that #disability groups and Royal Colleges who oppose this #AssistedDyingBill don't know what they are talking about or have not read the Bill.

Kim Leadbeater MP hits back at those who say the assisted dying proposals haven’t  been properly thought through. Kim Leadbeater MP on @PolInsideOut speaking to @GloriaDePiero and @Richard4Watford, standing in for @JonAshworth. Listen now: linktr.ee/politicsinside…

@BuDs_UK That so many disability groups remain firmly opposed to this #AssistedDying legislation should not simply be dismissed or ignored

Here's Kim Leadbeater openly acknowledging that 'her' assisted suicide Bill is in fact a Government bill written by civil servants. That doesn't make it infallible, but it does mean Keir Starmer and his Ministers are totally accountable for its contents and deficits.

@BeeAwake1 Wonderful!

♥️✨ What An Awesome Santa Clause‼️🥰

Oh, yes they did! Yesterday, the talented bunch supported by our Gate service took to the stage for their annual pantomime - Beauty and the Beast! 🥀 From building their own set to carefully choosing the song set list, every detail was carefully crafted by them. We'd also like to give a special shoutout to our tutor and director, Andrew, who supported them in building the set and bringing the show to life. It was a day full of joy, laughter and creativity. A true showcase of their hard work and talent! 👏

We deliver a co-designed workshop supporting mental health profs to build confident, neuro-affirmative practice with autistic people. The training combines taught content, case studies, autistic perspectives and discussion. In-house delivery available. atautism.org/approved-menta…
