There are more neurodivergent staff than managers.

So why are the majority of companies spending more on management training than neurodiversity training?

Don't say your ADHD or autism is a superpower!

Don't say 'neurodiverse' when you mean 'neurodivergent'!

Don't self-diagnose!

Don't.

Don't.

Don't.

ADHD was first described in 400BC.

ADHD couldn't officially exist in adults until 2008.

ADHD couldn't officially exist with autism until 2013.

Move faster, medical establishment!

Genuine question: who gets to decide who's qualified to diagnose ADHD autism? I've had speech and language therapists, nurses, psychiatrists, and all sorts but I want to know who decrees whether someone is 'qualified'.

Look it's me!

With a brand new talk.

“But you haven’t drowned yet, so why do you want to learn how to swim?”

'Why do you want a diagnosis? You've managed fine so far.'

'No, no I haven't. That's the POINT.'

You know all that hoo-hah about the school photo excluding kids with complex needs?

The bigger story is that many of these photos exist. They didn't take two photos, those kids aren't able to go to school.

What a great question!

I dunno the answer though. I suppose being 2e makes me good at a lot of stuff.

It’s time to talk! 🫵🗣️

2 in 3 football fans have struggled with their mental health. So we've teamed up with Vinnie Jones, Chelsea FC and Samaritans to encourage fans to #TalkMoreThanFootball

What would help you navigate the post-diagnosis cliff?

What kind of support would you like to see for adults with a shiny new #autism diagnosis?

My personal theory about #AuDHD (not that anyone asked) is that it's a separate condition from plain #ADHD and standard-issue #autism .

Had the best time today participating in a fireside chat for Heidrick & Struggles and their team. They ask the BEST questions. ♥️

It's #Autism Acceptance Day.

This year, I'd like to celebrate those doing good work.

Who do you think is doing a good job? It could be an advocate, a big organisation or someone you met at a bus stop. I want to hear about them!

Good news for you!

My potential client pulled out of a retainer contract last minute. ☹️

Sad, but it happens. I wish them well.

So, now I have availability to work in April+

So much to unpick in this. Why would you 'limit language'?

Some of us are hyperlexic, it sort of goes with the territory.

And why would you use peers as an example for how an autistic should behave? Why isn't it the other way round?

Rachel Morgan-Trimmer Yeah and that’s how you know they’re not consciously doing the work of dismantling neuronormative culture. Autistics are children or service users.
