Awful. Being autistic she may well have meant it at face value without it being an insult, and not understood what she did wrong as she just stated a fact. Then being dragged out while she had an autistic meltdown :(
Even if she did mean it as an insult and wasn’t autistic, there’d be still no need to drag her out and arrest her. She’s a kid. Educate her, sure, but there was no need to escalate it.
The bottom line is, the victim having autism and being young is irrelevant in the sense that no-one should be treated like that for such a trivial insult.
It’s obviously still relevant, the victim is particularly vulnerable, making the abuse so much more obviously callous and disgusting. But I say if this happened to Joe Citizen, it would also be horrific.
You clearly read the article to know she was intoxicated, so you must have also seen the kids words quoted as "you look like my Nana, she’s a lesbian.
That’s oversharing, people do that on a normal day, let alone that she was an intoxicated neurodiverse child having a panic attack. Without context it’s not an insult, with context its a child being manhandled while in distress.
It seems like you have a problem with her as a person for either being a drunk teenager, neurodivergent or possibly something else? Kids fuck about, the consequences in this instance should be a hangover and a stern talking to, not assault and arrest.
Honestly, I don’t think it is.
From an outside perspective, someone might genuinely have that opinion. It might be up for debate (and ratio), however.
From another, you could understand how someone was willing to take the risk to experience a more normal life.

“now honey, what you said was deeply offensive to your grandmother. she doesn’t look like a
!”
That is a pretty sick brurn though. Good on ya, autistic lady whether you meant it as an insult or not. Sorry about the pigs throwing a temper tantrum
You shouldn’t call cops “pigs.” Pigs are intelligent and loving creatures

Also, if a 16-year-old in the UK wants to go out and get pissed, stopping them is no easy feat.
Saying someone looks like someone else who happens to be gay is not homophobic… You’re homophobic for thinking it is.
