sparked debate among Twitter users when it comes to wearing masks in public, as it shared stories of those who are exempt being verbally abused.
One man from Wolverhampton, Corey, who has Aspergers, said he was thrown off a bus by the driver and other members of the public, who took offence to him not wearing a mask despite him explaining he wasn’t required to. Corey explained that he is exempt from wearing a mask due to suffering from ‘sensory difficulties’, revealing: ‘I have to wear a specific type of clothes, I can’t wear accessories, as you can imagine wearing a mask is very difficult for me.’‘Before the incident happened I had already been challenged on two separate occasions on not wearing a mask, they were extremely positive and brief exchanges,’ he said.
Another lady, who suffers from a lung and heart condition, revealed she was verbally attacked in front of her son, despite wearing a lanyard with a card attached explaining she was exempt from wearing a face covering.
