Daniel is 18 years old Sunday. A gentler soul you will never meet. He has no friends as he won’t leave home and can’t work. Autism does that to you. Please wish him a happy birthday and RT everywhere . ❤️#happybirthdaydaniel

Something needs to be done about endo pts being dismissed in a&e. It's disgraceful. Base the #endometriosis specialist nurse in a&e? Educate the whole dept on the severity of the disease/ associated serious complications? Those with power, please do something...🤦‍♀️ #NHS

What Are Health Inequalities? | The King's Fund This is an important document. Presumably age is included among protected characteristics. So having different access to services based on age isn’t acceptable ⁦Hope Virgo⁩ ⁦James Downs⁩ kingsfund.org.uk/insight-and-an…

It is a helpful project, but we need to address the elephants in the room: the treatment gap and social inequalities

How I love being so privileged to be getting… £90.50 per week for being disabled & unable to work. If I’m REALLY lucky it might get raised to about £130 per week!! That’s only a little bit more than I was earning in half a day at work… but sure, I’m choosing this “lifestyle”…

As it turns out, most places don’t want to improve their processes. They just want to keep doing what they’re doing bc change is hard.

Anton Du Beke proving once again why he is the BEST judge that #Strictly #StrictlyComeDancing has ever had. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 He's kind and fair to all the celebrities but is also constructive when he needs to be in a way that is calm and polite and not downgrading or patronising.

NHS children’s hospital replaced senior paediatricians with Physician Associates to examine child abuse victims As PAs are not trained/classed as ‘professional witnesses’, these criminal cases were potentially jeopardised, allowing abusers to walk free telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/09/3…

I was an ableist asshole when I first became a teacher. Because that’s what I was taught! In my defense, academic institutions told me a strict attendance policy was required. What changed my perspective & my assessment criteria? Disabled students 🧵

Them: You don't look autistic Me: You don't see it because my autism mostly affects me. I've spent most of my life painstakingly minimizing the impact it has on others... so now you don't see it, but I feel it twice as much

We are calling for a Confidential Inquiry into eating disorder deaths and your support would be hugely appreciated - simply sign this petition to lend your voice to this important effort to end injustice. change.org/p/avoidable-de…

Whatever you think of the diagnosis of borderline personality disorder, it is simply unacceptable to treat patients with contempt, emotional distance and disbelief. That is not boundaries; that is cruelty. #HumanNotPD

THIS IS LEADERSHIP! The Royal College of Edinburgh have stated they are deeply concerned that PAs have: 🚨 No defined scope 🚨 No ceiling of practice 🚨 No guidance on supervision They advise: ✅ ***GMC does NOT take over regulation*** until clear nationally agreed scope &

This could also be linked to EDs and autism imo

Absolutely no words. Department for Work and Pensions have cut my support dramatically (both hours and pay). I now cannot do my job. Please help me stay in work. Even if it's just sharing to make a noise. gofund.me/5e5b7b0c *Having to take a lil time off for mh, be back soon*

It took Ellen DeGeneres, one of the wealthiest women in the US, 66 years to be diagnosed with ADHD but please keep publishing your alarmist articles about how anyone can get an ADHD diagnosis.

FYI "I'm disabled too" isn't an excuse for ableism. Disabled people can be ableist too, it's called lateral ableism... and it's no less wrong than an abled person being ableist.

Not “we”. You do NOT speak for me. I do NOT stand with Israel & the horrific war crimes they are committing. I stand for peace & an immediate END of the genocide in Palestine.
