A really ‘unhelpful’ stance for ADHDers How helpful is the diagnosis asks neuropsychiatrist Alistair Santhouse at the Cheltenham Literary festival? He is there to discuss Dr Suzanne O Sullivan’s new  book “Age of Diagnosis – how the overdiagnosis epidemic is making us sick”. And I can feel my hackles rising at the thought of ADHD kids under attack again. We teachers know they are little blighters in the classroom, but we also know that ADHD does not affect intelligence, just ability to learn - so they deserve just as much success as other children.

Really? I mean really? A response to the new book on How the Overdiagnosis Epidemic is making us sick.

Clean, affordable water belongs to all of us. I’ve told the new Environment Secretary to act on real evidence for public ownership and put people first. Join me:https://actionnetwork.org/letters/ask-emma-reynolds-to-base-water-policy-on-facts-not-water-industry-fake-maths?source=bluesky&
