I thought you were going to say “by recruiting people with hands”

I was on a long train journey about 15 years ago with autistic young daughter. She was getting very angst, crying and shouting. A woman started marching up to complain. 4 young men in the seats in front barred her from complaining, shooed her away, & bought me wine from the buffet car. So LOVELY!

I read it and it sounded incredibly traumatic and something that could quickly and easily happen. So glad they all survived and my brain also jumped for joy.

Sorry! Wrong thread 🫣

Yes! BBM😆. Also, Gen X: “Ban it for under-16s because we’re completely addicted to pointless social media scrolling but don’t want to ban ourselves.”?

Sharing for reach, as the SRC is such a worthwhile org (and has been so lovely supporting my Dad who’s been unwell in hospital🫶)

Such as?

Is it? Why?

In the UK, if you are from or live in a big city, you’re seen as a ‘Metropolitan elite’ (even though many aren’t elite - but cities are generally more diverse and probably more ‘progressive’).

I love this too. An extremely deep pressure sports massage speaks to me! My autistic daughter leaps, jumps and gallops to her music every evening between 7-9pm, seeking sensory input. I probably ought to join her.

For me it’s a mix of local shops, local markets (the Peckham Independent Ceramic fair today was ace, and a few things from Greenwich market too), bigger shops like Liberty and John Lewis as well as some things online. A bit of everything I suppose (other than Amazon).

Yes of course. Not visible on a webpage, but still live. I wonder if that could that then be found just through a search rather than guessing the actual url correctly?

Ha! So true!

The news article indicates someone changed the word March to November in the url file title and got access to the pdf.

And if she’s not seen and the thing gets worse, then the treatment gets even harder to administer. It’s inequitable 😞.

Learning disabled people die young. Not because they’re more ill, but because the NHS doesn’t make reasonable adjustments to see them near to their appt time. Even with her record flagged, my daughter had a meltdown after we waited over an hour. And the GP said “well I can’t examine her like this”.

When they reach 18 the SEND budget and the adult social care budget are never spoken about together. They are almost deliberately played off against each other in the most bizarre way.

Wooo 10 years younger would be nice

I got tickets today - woooooo!

Spain the band on stage at the Moth Club in London, 8 Nov 2025.

Tonight @spaintheband.bsky.social we’re just stunning. The most beautiful guitars. At the @mothclub.bsky.social in Hackney

Coffee that walks itself up the stairs and presents itself to me at 6.30am

I feel privileged to have started working at @genomicsengland.bsky.social 3 weeks ago, and to have the opportunity to get involved in this type of groundbreaking and lifesaving work for and with patients, communities and the NHS. Freddie’s story is incredible!

Haha, I’m only ‘allowed’ a museum or gallery with my autistic daughter if first we go to the cafe, then we go to the gift shop, then we’re maybe allowed 10 mins in the gallery.

Impacts of the changes to the UK immigration policy Learn more about changes to UK immigration policy for those on a Health and Care Visa or Skilled Worker Visa.

My daughter’s carer is on a Social Care Worker Visa, expiring next year. It’s unclear whether it’ll be extended. She’s a qualified senior nurse but not able to get on the NMC register here. We’re closing the door on workers we need & who want to be here.

Maybe @jenitennison.com knows of such plans?
