the autism charities' corruption will be a cause of homicide by hair length.

THE CORRUPTION OF THE BIG AUTISM CHARITIES HAS ALLOWED THE FOLLOWING TO HAPPEN.

How so, when this is not about an autistic person? Because sensory issues in autism prove a biological humanitarian case against dress codes and uniforms, any at all ever, by reason of their biological harm to autistic people's bodies, and because this includes the unidentified or undiagnosed of us, dress codes can only be kept away from us by being kept away from THE WHOLE OF SOCIETY. So our biological situation liberates everyone else, NTs too, from dress codes.

This alert comes form the LGBT campaign All Out. After fleeing violence in Nigeria 10 years ago, Aderonke Apata applied for asylum. But in her latest hearing last week, a Home Office barrister argued that she couldn’t be a lesbian because “Lesbians only have short hair. And they don’t have children.” Because Aderonke used to have long hair and has children she can’t possibly be a “real” lesbian.

They could decide Aderonke’s fate at any moment: we have a critical window to speak out before Aderonke is sent back to Nigeria where she could be killed or jailed. The Home Office is breaking its own rules, which say that stereotyping the lives and looks of LGBT folks is not allowed. A huge public outcry in the next few days will push Home Secretary Theresa May to stop Aderonke’s deportation.

The big autism charities, who speak only for themselves with no accountability towards us who they purport to speak for, have chosen to fit in comfortably with what politicians want to hear. It is knowingly child assault that school uniforms still exist this long into the time of autism knowledge, and child endangerment for any autism charity to choose not to speak out so. They are directly to blame for the discriminatory LIFE endangerment of Aderonke and LGBT asylum seekers. A shift by society into a humanitarian awareness against dress codes would have destroyed the concept of using an appearance based argument in an asylum case, long before this case ever happened.

useful consumer site suddenly annoyingly closes

It is an emotional and consumer blow that an exceptionally sensible website with a simple empowering concept is closing down. The "Fix my transport" site www.fixmytransport.com.

It's all because of site hosting and maintaining. The way that shifts as projects diversify and their time commitments shift. The web still has this infuriating flaw, that to be good democratic and user-empowering does not bed a site in to the certainty of lasting.

Using that site helped me in motivating the council to take the supported bus route 63 (Gyle to South Queensferry) away from Horsburgh, whose shoddy standards included simply cancelling buses without rep-placement if they broke down. On an hourly service, and there was a case where they visibly used another bus to deliver staff from their depot to deal with the breakdown but not put the bus actually onto the service for the folks who had been waiting an hour.

When Lothian buses took over, they reinstated the Sunday service that Horsburgh had found unviable and dropped years before - and it seems that just by running it better they have found it viable enough now to increase the evening service, on all 7 days, as well as the day frequency during the week.

It shows the positive public empowerment at stake having a facility like "fix my transport", and now it's going. Credit also Queensferry Community Council, for its local response to the issue, but they did not make it publicly findable knowledge, it was Fix My Transport which served for that. We need to bother to organise a similar sort of consumer info, for spectrum folks, through ANS. An idea that has been raised before and has not yet taken off, as it needs starter contributions, like this 63 bus item could have been one, to get it going.
