Feb 2020 twitter attack on Ari and Steve blames political left not right for inequitably slow pace of autistics' inclusion

    On February 12, 2020 the above two since deleted tweets were posted as an attack on Ari Ne'eman and Steve Silberman for their connections to the Israeli government.  

 Ari and Steve laughed off the attack in these two since deleted tweets. 

 

 
 Ari Ne'eman has connections to the Israeli government that autismgadfly and tclementsuk didn't mention.  Mostly they were public support for political positions that support whatever position the Israeli government holds that prolong, rather than resolve, their 75 year conflict with Palestinians.

This post full of word salad of political partisan labels like “third positionist” and "syncretic" serves to obfuscate Clements resentment of less help than he needed for his brother with intense needs autism with severe disabilities.  Clements blames neurodiversity activists not (Tory) Conservative Party PMs back to Margaret Thatcher like John Major, David Cameron 2010 and 2011 austerity (search for UK Uncut movement) and Boris Johnson lies about Brexit EU withdrawal helping NHS. The Conservative Tory party was  complicit over the long term with “New Labor” neoliberal Prime Ministers Tony Blair and Gordon Brown  in parliament majorities for weakening NHS or other state funded independent living supports.

The independent living supports were weakened  to the point that Langdon had to privatize them inequitably for only a few people with intellectual disabilities and help their  fundraising efforts with time buy tv production from Channel 4 UK Kitchen Impossible tv episode. 

Chronic and severe disability and long term care are the next activist struggle. More work remains after disability rights activists helped win the public policy activist wars for equitable financing of acute primary care that’s medically necessary to medically stabilize physically sick people with socialized medicine/ national health care.      Chronic and severe disability and long term care and rehabilitation with long term services and supports LTSS and home and community based services HCBS must be provided in home and community based settings according to a new Settings Rule.  The providers of those LTSS must be chosen by the person with a disability according to a new regulation on where to provide (home and community based services) HCBS.  The promise of the #justiceforJenny (actual name Margaret) Hatch scotus precedent and #freebritney (Spears) from guardianship formed the legal concept of supported decision making needs to be made universally available, not limited to two test cases, by codifying the 1999 scotus case Olmstead vs LC (Lois Curtis) and EW (Elaine Wilson) like other demands to codify Roe vs Wade and Obergefell vs Hodges.  And the cost of those LTSS in home and community based settings needs to be socialized not privatized. Expanding medicaid and medicare benefits is the best way to pay for LTSS and home and community based services according to the settings rule.  One way such caregiving services failed to be provided was the cut from $250 Billion to $0 in the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.  Originally $450 billion was proposed in the Senate version.  That cut would best be blamed on fiscally conservative Democratic Congressmembers compromising with even more fiscally conservative Republicans.  It was the third time since 2011 the 'caring economy' lost federal support.  The first was the loss of the CLASS Act in 2011 in the 'sequester' and 'fiscal cliff' budget battles and the second was the loss of the Disability Integration Act by 2020.
