       When asked in class"Is violence an effective way of achieving changes in society?"one of our children in the past replied yes.Subsequently, they were held back and questioned under the initial stage of the schools PREVENT policy.For a question that was expecting a response to what should have been asked "Do you think violence should be used as a way of achieving changes in society?"How many autistic people get caught out by badly phrased and framed questions?https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/jul/07/staggeringly-high-number-of-people-with-autism-on-uk-prevent-scheme

       Obviously, violence can be accepted as being effective and also something a person does not wish to engage in.Stupidly phrased/coded questions are going to catch out all sorts of people. Prevent was awful when we were trained in it when it started. Everything we have heard, shows it got worse as it developed. Now, we suspect, Westminster will taint autistic people with the *might be a terrorist* in the same way they have with others they do not like.

       Oh, and let us be clear.Autistic people are capable of a full range of actions, from benevolence to terrorism. But, we *suspect* an unsubtle characterisation,  in the way being coloured, Muslim, or a migrant, may well be deployed by some populist politicians.

       @CreatureOfTheHill fucking CLASSIC.I remember when my dad showed me a glass of water.It was about 1/3 capacity.Dad asked me if it was half full or half empty.It was not full enough to be half empty, but it was more than half empty, which, to my mind, meant it qualified for the second. So I said it was half empty. And then he slapped me. Apparently he waned me to say it was half full, cuz optimism or whatever. So then he slapped me, and told me to say it was half full. The glass was not half full. This repeated. The glass remained not half full.Bad memory.

       @CreatureOfTheHill though I guess this could be seen as both a story about badly-phrased questions and the ineffectiveness of violence.

       @CreatureOfTheHill yeah. I had a mostly happy childhood(well-off family) but bits and pieces are, well, like that.
