Abandoned at 25: The Quiet Ejection of Adults from ADHD Services Services in Coventry and Warwickshire Will No Longer Refer Adults Over 25

🚨 Adults over 25 are being cut off from ADHD assessments in Coventry & Warwickshire. This isn't just bad policyβ€”it's systemic abandonment.

Read why this matters, and why we must resist:

EHRC commissioner calls for trans people to accept reduced rights Akua Reindorf said law never permitted self-ID, but trans campaigners call remarks β€˜profoundly unhelpful’

This is extremely disappointing, Equality and Human Rights commissioner seemingly unaware that Trans rights are Human rights. Could have come from Orwell's 1984 doublespeak.

Neurodiversity Affirming Practice for Mental Health β€” Chronic Resilience An overview of neurodiversity affirming practice for mental health, what this means, what this looks like and some resources for continued learning and reflection.

β€œNeurodivergent people are more likely to have experienced trauma, including chronic invalidation, that can have a lasting impact. This is why it is vital to be trauma-informed while also being neurodiversity affirming.” From The Chronically Resilient OT:

There has been a lot of publicity about The Age of Diagnosis by Suzanne O'Sullivan, she argues that there is over-diagnosis of autism. I think there is over-medicalisation which is what is driving diagnosis where identification should suffice.
