@SaoirsedT @daisycutterzine Well, it depends on what you mean by disabled. A lot of neurodivergent people reject that label. For sporting purposes, we need to have clear criteria - if you are going to ignore the criteria, there's no point in them existing.

interesting read and really sad for the players referenced. found this quote from tracey jervis uncomfortable though - is it okay to say "this person isn't disabled" about a person with a neurodivergent condition? those conditions can be a disability as per the equality act

Exclusive by me for The Guardian: ECB accused of allowing non-disabled cricketers to play in the Disability Premier League. A quote from one parent sums it up well, I think: “You can’t call it a Disability Premier League if the players aren’t disabled." theguardian.com/sport/2026/apr…
