Rowan thanks for those links. You are a 
I did post re Aimee's ODD the other day. I will past it here as not sure if it is possible to link to a precise post. It didn't really get much comment then - maybe due to being a fast moving and upsetting time, or people not finding it relevant.

I've just visited Aimee's wiki page. And seen that they were diagnosed with Oppostional Defiance Disorder as a child (Aimee disclosed this diagnosis themselves to the Huff Post)
Now, I am sure there will be MNers with expertise in this area, but according to Wikipedia, sympoms of this disorder include;
(1) Often loses temper
(2) Is often touchy or easily annoyed
(3) Is often angry and resentful
(4) Often argues with authority figures or for children and adolescents, with adults
(5) Often actively defies or refuses to comply with requests from authority figures or with rules^
(6) Often deliberately annoys others
(7) Often blames others for his or her mistakes or misbehavior
(8) Has been spiteful or vindictive at least twice within the past 6 months
I can't help noticing that their behaviour over the last few years seems to be very symtomatic of this disorder - especially if you place women/feminists as authority figures where women are the gatekeepers of femaleness and women's rights and therefore so mean and nasty to keep Aimee out
How does this affect how we view Aimee's actions with cyber bullying/hacking allegations, terfblockers, aggressively silencing women and other Greens if we fight to keep the boundaries (rules) of common sense and science and do not accept their assertion that TWAW because she and they say so.
And Aimee's utter lack of humility over their latest behaviour just has me speechless. Do they have no shame? Yes it smacks a little of 'young people' and being unwise, but a a PP said the Green Party should be older and wiser and should advise Aimee and have the strength and wisdom to law down the law here. And if Aimee is so unwise then why does anyone support them as a candidate for leading anything?
Has Aimee 'overcome' this disorder that leads to lack of behavoural control, vindictiveness, rule breaking, hostility, failure to take repsonsibility? What treatment if any did they have?
I acknowledge that Aimee grew up in very disturbed household, but disorder or not, disability or not, to me it adds to more weight to the argument that Aimee is wholly unfit to be a polictian or official activist, and that the Green Party show staggering naivety and/stupidity (or worse) are utterly incapable of recognising vunerabiltities in young people, exercising good judgement, and making and upholding safeguarding polcies.
IMO, Aimee is not fit to stand or to infleunce and represent others, and neither are any Green Party members who do not speak out.
I am not trying to hit below the belt here by raising this - it was something that Aimee put into the public domain and fitness of ability, judgement and character is plainly essential in someone seeking public office.
Aimee cannot reasonably use their diagnosis to explain and possibly generate sympathy one minute, then argue that it's significance be disregarded the next.

Oh yes, and in Aimee's own words in the Huff Post article from 4th July 2018, HuffPost Birmingham Stories of Equality
“I was often seen as a troublemaker and whatnot, questioning authority. But now I’m doing politics I’m turning this negative thing, where people have said it will get in my way and I won’t be able to do things and achieve, into a positive.
“I’m using it in my politics as a tool to hold people to account.”
Holding to account? Or to challenge as per usual for ODD? Using it to silence women and to enforce their own rules?
Women's rights must be catnip for some with ODD... and imagine the satisfaction to be gained when they actually appear to succeed in break down those rules (including removal of safeguarding procedures for children) and install their own.

Whose authority was Aimee challenging when this came to light? The school?
Why didn't Aimee challenge David Challenor's authority? asked Placemats
Not sure if you are responding to my posts about Aimee and ODD, placemats but I guess that as children with this disorder grow up, most will learn to manage and control it to some extent - or at least channel it (mask it?) so that it becomes less obviously socially provocative.
Attacking women under the guise of the trans extremist agenda would be an excellent way of appearing to be chanelling hostility into something, er, 'constructive'.
Aimee mentioned re-building their relationship with DC so perhaps with this cause Aimee found, DC was able to be seen as an ally where they could campaign to erode women's rights together.
Soemthing was mentioned on another post about how even abusive relationships have the potential to unite against a common cause.
I do not think it is not a suprise that Aimee has a MH disorder. And don't see it as an unfair label. But AC needs help for it not enabling and collusion. The Greens are clearly blind. Thank got the suspension has happened at last.
