So this deserves a proper takedown. Allow me.
1) Autistic spectrum disorder is range of neurodevelopmental patterns and cognitive abilities. Some higher functioning people may be scientists, and sometimes these thinking patterns can be helpful.

2) ASD in general is a protected condition and as such this i see this as discrimination. Even if these people are neurodivergent, it does not remove their ability to care for people. Thats much more the realm of sociopaths. They can love as much as more neurotypical people.
3) Assuming any individuals motive and presenting it as fact is libel/slander. Unless Allison is telepathic then this is made up. The inference is that of taking pleasure anarchy and genocide, which is a bit of a stretch. A rather horrible accusation .
4) Every excess death is a tragedy. Many died in care homes for multiple reasons, including limited resources, treatment and the rate of infection and spread. High risk people live in care homes, its sadly simple. 56k is a horrible number but would have been more without lockdown
5) Scapegoating scientists, people with autism, or both, is a cowardly and transparent act. With all due respect (none) you should apologise, learn and then actually try to help. Waste of a columnist and 3 of my brain cells right now.
6) See this as an example of the limited thinking and poor appraisal skills of Allison and those like her. She seems to prefer to make tweets like this than listen, which to me puts her in a worse light than any of what she could falsely accuse these scientists of.
7) The longer this divisive and cruel behaviour goes on, the longer it will take people to understand the value of people, especially those with autism. It is not an insult to be used for likes to boost ones ego or clicks. Thats pathetic.
8) Having worked with people from all over the spectrum, i am honoured in whatever small time or role I have had with them. They are human beings, not targets or scapegoats. Believe me Allison, you constantly suprise me how low you will stoop.
9) I am very impressed you had wifi in Satans arse.
10) I am always happy to be corrected on peoples preferred terminology, so please give me the benefit of the doubt for any clumsiness. X
