We do not intend to comment on the particulars of the controversy surrounding an email sent by Green MSP Lorna Slater, but make the following point about the issue.Autistic and other neurodivergent people may need to work in particular ways that suit them. Our Labour Party Autism / Neurodiversity Manifesto places great emphasis on the need for workplaces to adjust to the needs of neurodivergent workers.It is important that such needs are considered and accommodated rather than ridiculed. We urge Labour members to give this issue serious consideration and not join in a ‘trial by social media’.
