Open letter to the DWP numbereighteeninthecorner.blog/2024/04/18/ope…
Thank you to NumberEighteenInTheCorner 🙌

In response to DWP news they will fine carer's who appeal fines.

More questions than answers here:

~if you fine someone who's broke, where does the money come from?

~why are the rules like a bucket of jelly? No one gets them.

~Who's going to do the caring?

#UnpaidCarers

Who wins here?
Unpaid carers are not in a financial position to pay fines.
DWP rules are as clear as mud.
Carers have their own difficulties to manage too.
So who is going to step into the caring role while fines & appeals are dealt with?

It’s scary how fast time is going
There’s no time to stop & rest
No time to reflect & be present

Commit to slowing down
To be more aware of your surrounding
To pause & just break away
Force yourself to be still
To breathe and tell yourself it’s ok
I need to do this too

'This is not going to get better unless we act' 🙌

You are either a carer, soon to be a carer or will require care.

Why don't we talk about care? Is there stigma around caregiving?

Adhd and Autism are neurological differences.

There are decades of data, peer reviewed studies and experts working towards finding out more about Adhd.

If it was caused by fizzy drinks and chips, they might
have noticed by now.

#Adhd

In response to Joe Wicks saying #ADHD is caused by ultra-processed foods: Joe is a force for so much good but on this he's abjectly wrong. His point that a good diet can help almost everyone is right. But diet good, bad, or ugly won't make you have ADHD or make you not have ADHD.
