Having received the information from a friend of his wife that Paul Dacre has been (almost certainly) diagnosed with Autism (no surprise really – the obsessive behaviour, the emotional projection, the “stimming” ), I am actually wondering what to write about this?

Autism (as with any disability) is clearly a sensitive topic.

Families struggle so much and we can only feel compassion for them. Many old people didn’t get autism diagnoses and support.

That said, the obsession with me, (Dacre offered bonuses for anyone who agreed to stalk me and destroyed my life) and impact on me is also my priority.

Paul Dacre’s sense of delusion and lack of reality are really not worthy of public attention, or indeed criticism.

They (sometimes) may be seen as common autistic traits.

It is commonly known that Dacre’s autistic emotional dysregulation and anxiety meant he was obsessed with “setting up situations in which he was the hero/victim and everyone else was responsible for his anxiety”.

Even now, at 75, Paul Dacre has paid a PR firm to put topless images out claiming he was actually a boxer at Oxford hanging out with various attractive woman. Reputation management is his priority.

However, Dacre’s obsession with me as his “special interest” is still an issue.

I really can’t be set up as the “bad guy” to regulate someone else or make an autistic person feel better.

I will contact Dacre and my sources for a comment or response.

Would welcome any comments or more information, going forward.
