Discrimination case against an autistic senior dismissed
They say they provide help with discrimination cases, including those related to the provision of services. I am autistic and faced discrimination at a hair salon after I expressed feeling overwhelmed. Despite my complaint being respectful and without any offence or profanity, the owner told me not to return. The Equality Advisory Service informed me that my situation qualifies as a discrimination case. However, Howe rejected my case, stating there wasn't enough evidence. I wonder what kind of evidence a disabled victim of discrimination can provide. No one would explicitly state that it was because I am autistic, but I was told not to return due to what they perceived as my overreaction, which was triggered by anxiety related to my condition.
