I am sorry for all the people who will be damaged by the shitty discussions that will be generated by this . Just like the Age of Diagnosis, the creators are not presenting this in a vacuum - when the age of diagnosis was published - it generated many hostile conversations - an autistic woman who had finally decided to seek help and had since received an autistic diagnosis approached me in floods of tears . She felt like an impostor all over again.

@robinince@mastodon.social Channel 4 does seem to have a history with this sort of shit. They seem to stir stuff up just to be seen as controversial.

@robinince@mastodon.social I do feel the UK establishment media has a real problem with marginalised people in this country and its for that reason in the past year I've just simply switched off their output. Its past simple "just asking questions" at this point. Ofcom has completely failed here.

@robinince@mastodon.social Oh for fuck's sake. Just what we need is to have people trying to invalidate our experiences.
