"Theories & pronouncements about overdiagnosis sound to many people like a nightmarish turning-back of the clock [..]
why is he picking over the number of diagnoses, when he could be focusing on why our systems of work, education & care are still so closed off to the people who get them?"

Exactly.

Important read. These policies will effect children's health & not just people in the US. Feck anti-science sentiment, misinformation & the decline of educational standards. People not believing in medical science anymore has to be one of the dumbest & most dangerous things happen in recent times...

A black cat looking down a snowy path between two buildings. Red berries or apples are visible on branches, providing a splash of color against the white snow.

Goodnight! Keep warm.😸

Trinity College chapel, pastel. I'd forgotten about this one. Spotted when looking through photos of paintings on an SD card. I think this one is oil pastel but I'll have to find the original to be sure.

So true. Autistic people perceive the world around them at a deeper level. They are often more sensitive and that's not something that should be worked against with phrases like "you need to toughen up". They are often the first ones that spot a pattern or sense things that make them nervous 💛♾️🌈

Trying to explain the concept of the #latelatetoyshow to one of my Görmen friends: t'is quite hard to convey the excitement of it all & the lovely combination of funny, cute, a bit mad & wholesome 'craic' that signifies the start of #Xmas season in Ireland. May long it continue to delight the nation

fog settled over small lake - reflected trees, and gliding geese at blue hour

Each time,
the found world surprises
- that is its nature.

A couple stands at the edge of the sand at Ocean Beach during sunset. The sky shows a warm orange glow near the horizon that shifts into soft blue above. The Ocean Beach Pier stretches across the middle of the frame with waves rolling in beneath it. The couple appears as silhouettes against the reflective water and the low sun.

Welcome back to #FossilFriday!

Here is a Petoskey Stone which is Michigan's state stone. It is a colonial rugose coral known as Hexagonaria percarinata. This comes from the Middle Devonian (Givitian) Gravel Point Formation (Traverse Group). Each corallite that you see would have housed a polyp.

My favourite parts of the #latelatetoyshow are when they bring out a celebrity and make adorable children with mullets cry 💜
