Plight of the Yemenis is being forgotten

There are many dreadful wars in the Middle East and Africa. With the US and UK parading their morals over Syria (Report, 13 April), I wonder if they would consider that not hundreds or thousands but millions of people are in danger of death by hunger and by the bombing by Saudi warplanes and the US and UK blockade of aid to Yemen. It will no doubt be of comfort to the dead Yemenis that their deaths were by moral US and UK bombs. I am just about to send more money to try and aid the poor Yemeni people as it appears that the UK and US are not going to help.

No, autistic people are not ‘mind blind’ – here’s why
For four decades, a controversial idea has shaped how autism is understood by researchers, healthcare professionals and the public: the claim that autistic people are “mind blind”. The phrase suggests an inability to grasp what others think or feel. It is simple, memorable – and wrong.
