I have autism, and adult ADHD, a vegetable huh? Let me tell you what this vegetable does day to day, I'm classed as unfortunately unfit for work, I don't like it, but that's the cards I'm dealt, luckily, I have a family id wanted my whole life and I'm able to game, so you might say what can I offer? I have a physically disabled adopted mother, who's 55, was gonna vote reform, she's awaiting right hip surgery, has arthritis and fibromyalgia, and spinal stenosis, is on two sticks, we managed to work around my spontaneity of ADHD, and my routine of autism, minus my occasional anger outburst, to make a way so that I don't always have to interact, but so that I can help her, I have high level severe autism and severe adult ADHD, yet I manage to look after her, and 1% look after myself, autism is a very varied spectrum, yes there are an awful lot of people like me, worse off because they're mute, but to even insinuate that we cannot contribute to any part of life, or that we are nothing more than vegetables, is unimaginably disgusting, my mother will be voting differently tomorrow, and I couldn't be prouder of her, I've been sat here aghast for five minutes, and whether this is a bot, or some troll, it is absolutely horrifyingly disgusting, and immeasurably astounding.

[@timthegallant]

Im sorry youve been made to feel that way but think your mum maybe was slightly misguided in thinking of voting for reform.but shame its taken her child being belittled to reconsider this wasted vote.reform is full of vile people like this.stay strong for both your mum and yourself.i really hope others consider their vote too.

Well that was. Gut punch, anyway thank you for your understanding

[@mup_pet]

Farage said way back in 2014 that he wants an American-styled healthcare system. Reform, as far as I can tell (because they're extreme right-wing) would not invest in public services. You look at the breakdown of their tax plans, and it greatly benefits the ultrarich. It would be like voting Tory on steroids.

The idea that starmer has ran some kind of fantastically hopeful and appealing election campaign is ridiculous.
