To be shocked some people have to be told special needs and disabled people have just as much right to be in society as anyone

Absolutely Not!!!! The social model of disability uses disabled people, special needs people, autistic people. Disabled people are disabled by society not their impairments

I disagree. DD virtually has anterograde amnesia. She cannot remember what she did today, what she ate at her last meal, or the name of the person looking after her right now. You could explain a million times to her, why she needed to wear a mask during Covid, and two minutes later, she would have forgotten anything you said. She cannot learn new facts. Society has got nothing to do with the impact on her life!

on a positive from during covid (and there are many negatives) Ds among his many issues also has ARFID I posted on fb about not being able to get his safe food anywhere and three friends who lived locally had a packet of the biscuit in - they all took their daily exercise to walk and leave them in the porch for him!

it may only be something little but things like that make a massive difference

That's so nice! We have a family of cosplayers in the village and they used to walk around the streets in various costumes to entertain the kids.
