Divergently Married

I understand a certain millionaire politician from the limited company known as Reform is saying that SEN children, shouldn't have sensory accommodations in classrooms. He's specifically taken issue with ear defenders. I want to know why he has an issue with disabled kids, to be honest.

New episode! Listen here on Spotify. I know it's intermittent, but pregnancy, coursework and life don't respect a podcasting schedule.

All the different shades, all the races, all the religions, all the cultures added together, mixed in a melting pot, to make this beautiful land, even more beautiful! This is what makes me proud to be British!

I see the chancellor is having another crack at making disabled people's lives worse again.

Why should we have to pay for their financial mismanagement?

Had a great time attending Bromley Disability Pride this afternoon - a lovely afternoon of poems, songs, dances (including one where I joined in!) and an allotment talk.

Also got to meet the Mayor of Bromley (a fellow neurodivergent lawyer) and chat about neurodiversity and disability inclusion.

We here at Divergently Being support #WorldMentalHealthDay 2025 and would encourage anyone who needs help to reach out, and for the rest of us to help and #BeKind.

We will be talking about this in our next episode.

Just watched this, and it really is enraging how much of a non-answer the government gave on improving #SEND provision for #Neurodivergent children. Absolutely infuriating. My wife and I are both #AuDHD with a baby on the way, and I worry what it will be like for us.

So the Orange Wrecking Ball (thanks @scaramucci.bsky.social) says #Paracetamol causes #Autism.

The MHRA, NICE, NHS, and anyone with a functioning brain says otherwise.

We all know what causes autism. #Autistic parents.

We've got a new episode up! It's been a while again, but when there's a baby on the way, and everything else, well, we try our best. In the meantime though...
