Spotted the thread last night and went to read it this morning, as it's really quite significant for the autistic community, and it's gone.
I realise some might consider it challenging, distasteful and upsetting to read and discuss, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't discuss it.
We should be discussing it more.
Autistic, intellectually disabled and other disabled people are still treated appallingly and die in state-funded institutions. We need to be able to recognise the historical context of attitudes that lead to such horrors. It is a topic that will engender emotive and emotional viewpoints, and may be traumatic for some, but that does not mean we shouldn't talk about it anyway. People should be upset by this, people should be upset by the dreadful ways disabled people are treated in so-called 'care' homes.
