Vivienne Westwood, a huge reason why I studied fashion, a creative genius, ideas so outside the realm of most fashion, an inspirational artist & tireless campaigner, a rich, imaginative backdrop to my life. So sad to hear she has died.

She took a tank to David Cameron's house to protest against fracking, she protested in a cage about Julian Assange's extradition, she supported Extinction Rebellion; "You have to go faster than the system" (VS). She did.

I went to my son's graduation & a professor commented on discrimination against gender & ethnicity encouraging students to never let this stand in their way. Powerful words but no recognition of how hard uni & employment can be 4 neurodivergent students

there is still so much ignorance about neurodivergence, it is making me so angry & I am getting MAD with people who do not work in this area but tell families their children r not autistic. Sadly stereotypes persist & there is still huge lack of knowledge & understanding.

I am a speech & language therapist, would I tell a dentist how to do their job? No. I don't know any thing about dentistry. Am sick of people telling families out of date, offensive things about autism and the damage they do. Go on a course, read a book, don't make it up grrrrrr

Still fuming about people commenting on validity of diagnoses they know nothing about. Has happened to me, people saying I do not have ADHD. Yes, I do. I might not conform to the stereotype ideas you have of ADHD, I don't care, I do not have to justify neurodivergence to anyone.

Inside our autistic minds is such an amazing and very important programme, teaching others and getting rid of stereotypes, wow, very moving, Chris Packham is an incredible person bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0b…

Double empathy problem runs so deep, it is so hard for people to imagine difference. Inside Our Autistic Minds shows parents surprised by things they learned about their teenage/adult children years after diagnosis. Lesson to all of us.

Horse racing should be banned. I had to turn radio off when a horse racing fan said horses love it and want to do it - he obviously speaks horse ...... but isn't very good at it
