Really good letter Caroline. This is implying that kids are

diagnosed willy nilly whereas the truth is that it is pretty

difficult to even get a diagnosis.

I also did a response - I think yours is better! I would like to

challenge the legality of her hate mongering of disabled people - I

thought it was illegal under DDA and would like to challenge her

right to be so offensive in print. Any thoughts?

Her views are akin to racism or sexism - it's not good enough to

attempt to side step offence by saying " not you genuine people "

becuase she is hardly in a position to judge genuine from false.

It's surely a breach of DDA and the Sunday Times should be called to

answer. This isn't a " life style " piece - much as morons like her

would like to pretend otherwise.

That's absolutely right - my response was nowhere near that good.

Again I'll ask my sister (the lawyer) what she thinks about the legal side.

Hi Diane – I have sent the article

to the disability rights commission (your link) for their response. Haven’t

checked out the law yet.

I think that this article is also pretty

disparaging of the paediatricians who diagnose our children. I’ll try sending

the article to the BMA for their response. Sara
