and so today its not so much ... but a group who are often overlooked. I do not recall the Premier League waving their rainbow flags or taking the knee for neurodiversity. Economic disadvantage, discrimination, problems with the justice system, the workplace, health & life expectancy. Perhaps the next crusade should be Autism Lives Matter ?

Nobody seems to have picked up on your post PV, but you're right to raise the subject. Autism must be very difficult to live with, either as a sufferer or a carer. Sometimes treated with suspicion, but these folk are often bright in a specific area. I remember a young, autistic, black guy who was a brilliant artist. He could (probably still can) see a building once and then draw an exact copy from memory. And the character played by Christian Bale in The Big Short. True story. An incredible mathematician and autistic as I recall. He forecast the financial crisis of 2008. Yep, good to think of this issue for a bit.
Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled. |

There are many in the same situation. It's hard to live with.

Life can be cruel but you have to do exactly what you're doing, just get on with it. There are plenty of folk much worse off and it makes you thankful for what you've got. Enjoy your Easter and look for a win on Monday.
