I can’t fathom how it would take this long to be diagnosed as being neurodivergent. It seems convenience was the real reason in defence of allegations.
I can, mental health services in this country are shit and taboo. But being autistic doesn't excuse being a deviant arsehole.
Pulling down a colleague's trousers and then going "it's because I'm autistic!" only solidifies that he's an arsehole, trying to hide his actions behind a label that he thinks now makes him untouchable.
Concessions and understanding should be shown to autistic people. Sudden changes in plans, for example, may cause a strong emotional reaction that "neurotypicals" wouldn't experience, but it doesn't mean autistic people are free to completely do as they wish without repercussions
Actually, what am I saying? Yes, it should allow autistic people to be above the law! Brb, I've got a left wing government to install, nobody can stop me!
