  • Thomas the Autistic radical

    So we have an autistic child. … talking about being radicalised. And the parents go to the police. .. instead of a psychologist? Instead of a specific ASD psychologist. .. they bring in a religious imam. …. To deradicalise the child. The imam says he has recorded all the sessions. Yet didn’t. Why oh why oh why would the parents go to the POLICE and get a religious “guru” who obviously LIED to deradicalise an ASD child.

  • OUTSTANDING

    Just listened to my first Secrets We Keep podcast - Should I Spit. Outstanding journalism, so professionally done and so informative. Where it differs from other podcasts is that there’s no “filler” - it’s all relevant and it’s all riveting! Well done to all involved!!

  • Autism Uncovered

    How is it possible that police are not under the same rules as the education system where they make reasonable adjustments for a person with a disability? The treatment of this teen and his parents is utterly abhorrent and appalling. I hope this is being referred to the Disability Commissioner, Human Rights Commission and that they take the AFP to court.
