Exactly! As that would massively affect how I answer that question too.
The House of Lords Digital & Communications Committee just published their report on AI, copyright & the creative industries, and their conclusions could not be clearer.

Makes sense; often there is a lot more to it than these questions allow for an answer.
Yep, not all museums and theatres are the same. It’s a too simplistic question.
Exactly! What type of show? What kind of museum? Because that will influence my answer so much more!
Non autistic people: "You don't speak for all autistic people" "My autistic nephew isn't like that" "Autism doesn't define you"
Also non autistic people: All autistic people prefer museums to theatres 🧐
For those unfamiliar, AQ is a controversial screening tool for autism assessments.
One of the questions asks if you prefer visiting museums or the theatre, and you score points for preferring museums on the screener.
So you know how many of us laugh at the ‘do you prefer the museum or theatre?’ question on the AQ.
Well, I’ve just realised that I’ve been on multiple theatre trips with groups of only autistic people but never for visiting museums 😂
Nope, tourism management.
I just about scraped through my English GCSE 😂
So I just had a call from my old uni for my undergraduate degree, wanting to know what I’ve done in the last ten years with it.
I just said I was busy as I didn’t think they’d want an info dump on how I never really used the degree and it’s irrelevant to what I’m doing now 😂
Sadly, these memes get more relevant every day.
It can be so hard to navigate at times!
Sorry to hear it’s affected you in similar ways too!
So true. I think this affected me more when I was younger and I didn’t have a choice who I was around.
Like you said, if they can’t understand, they are not your people!
Autism moment of the day.
Spotting multiple factual errors in the autobiography I’m reading. 🤣
Once there was a bland food option I could select in advance. Initially I thought it was great, but they gave no further details.
On the day it turned out that the regular option was better for my sensory needs than the bland food option I had specifically selected 🤦🏻♀️😂
Sometimes the food on offer will be fine, and other times it won’t be, and I can never really know until I’m in the moment.
One of the hardest things I find to self-advocate for is sensory needs around food.
I have no other dietary needs or allergies, but when this question is asked, it’s hard to know how to respond and be understood.
Do other neurodivergent people experience similar?
Cats are just furry toddlers, aren’t they!

“As I look across some of my old social media posts, I think, “Why did I feel the need to be so public about this?”

This is what we need.
People who have actually been through the system, to hear from children. Where it worked and where it failed.
Not from ‘experts’ who want to hoist their opinions on others. Or those who have actually been political agenda.
Ooh a second arrest! Happy Monday to all!
It’s an erosion of rights and protections that EHCPs provide for students whose needs are neglected by the mainstream.
Even if they make mainstream schools ‘more inclusive’, it seems that disabled students would have fewer legal protections without an EHCP.
Going through education without the proper support has had a lifelong impact. The personal cost was so huge, and I’m still paying the price for it in my 30s.
It’s certainly cost the state a lot more in mental health care too. This isn’t cost-saving at all; it’s ideologically motivated.
This will harm so many children in the current system.
Using children as pawns up against each other based on perceived severity of need for scarce resources is barbaric.

Like I’ve had a jammed pack week of doing things I wanted to do but my mind/body can’t cope with it.
This is when being disabled sucks.
