Good guess!

I'm now officially obsessed by this whole issue. Eg have been contemplating the pros and cons of self drive versus trailer converted horse boxes. #TheArchers

Although still no official announcement yet which is strange. #TheArchers

#TheArchers From my bro: Not sure about a licence, we just need food hygiene rating so maybe hairdressing equivalent? Wd need permission from council if operating on public land or from landowner if private. Water cd be heated using a generator or by connecting to a mains supply as with a caravan.

Pretty much. There’s a big street food scene as well as festivals. They get a lot of wedding bookings.

Anyway - isn’t Ian doing something similar?
#TheArchers

I will check in with my brother who actually runs his business from a converted horsebox (food related), and it's very successful. #TheArchers

The water supply…#TheArchers

Naturally I also checked online. 'Eric Allan, the actor who played Bert Fry for the last 25 years of Bert’s life has sadly passed away quietly in his sleep. He loved the Archers fans (addicts) and had nothing but positivity from all that he met.
He thanks you all.' From Mike Allan. V odd if untrue.

Why We Need to Study Assisted Methods to Teach Typing to Nonspeaking Autistic People At least one third of autistic people have limited or no speech. Most nonspeaking autistic people are never provided alternatives that would enable the full range of expression that speech allows, si...

Excellent commentary by Prof. Vikram Jaswal & colleagues on the need for better thinking and research in relation to assisted typing methods for non-speaking autistic people 👏

#TheArchers Message on the other place that Eric Allan, who played Bert Fry for 25 years, has died. Loved Bert! 🫶

Very much enjoying reading 'Understanding Others in a Neurodiverse World' by Dr Gemma Williams. Scholarly but written in an accessible and conversational style. Some good important arguments, underpinned by research, on autism and communication. 🙌🏻

I think they are doing anything but this.

So the Epstein scandal is about politics? Silly me for thinking it’s about the mass abuse of women and girls | Marina Hyde Obsessing over individual players and political chaos leaves less time to focus on the misogyny. And that’s for the best, isn’t it guys, says Guardian columnist Marina Hyde

Another column from Marina Hyde in which she urges everyone to focus on the real Epstein scandal - the mass abuse of women by powerful men. Spot on.

#TheArchers I’m seeing George as the Brooklyn Beckham of the Grundy clan.

#TheArchers I’m so bored with Esme’s endless angst 😠

@badautistic.bsky.social I have sent you an email 🙂

Autistic doctors transitioning into practice:

“I think medicine is really bad at times for insinuating that a certain sort of person is what they’re expecting to see”

Glad to hear someone say this as I feel similarly. The GP/plumber relationship is not made convincingly. Akram is somewhat idealised, as the whole family is to an extent. #TheArchers

Segueing back to @didau.bsky.social’s OP, I recommend @thewoodbug.bsky.social’s excellent ‘Learning From Autistic Teachers’ ✨

Thank you Isabelle - and Happy New Year 🙂

Those doodles are stunning @soundcube.bsky.social

I think cool heads are almost impossible in this situation. George is obviously suffering, but Ed has to tell Emma and they should take steps to protect themselves, including the kids. It’s genuinely the best thing for George too. #TheArchers

Yes - my thoughts too. Was expecting some sort of message at the end for sources of advice etc. #TheArchers

Wow - what an episode. Can’t help thinking that Ed is being too nice in the face of George’s violence. What if he does something worse? Yes, get him help, but establish some boundaries #TheArchers

Great piece 👏🏻

Autism, intense interests and support in school: from wasted efforts to shared understandings Having intense or “special” interests and a tendency to focus in depth to the exclusion of other inputs, is associated with autistic cognition, sometimes framed as “monotropism”. Despite some drawb...

This is also a #neuro-affirming & integrative approach that suits autistic and other neurodivergent YP.

@thewoodbug.bsky.social is fab on this topic!

Thank you @isabellefk.bsky.social !

Oh no I can't stand squealing eg Chelsea but enjoyed other aspects of the character. New Amber is quite flat by comparison. #TheArchers

Maybe the whole going off George vibe is a way to lose Amber mark 2 as mark 1 approached the part in such a unique way. #TheArchers
