@JeauxLatham I wasn't bothered by it last night, even if it scared me a lot, but I was less pleased when I got it again today at 6am! Not turning the system off though because its there for a reason.

They didn’t ‘win’ the places in a fucking raffle, they earned them through a childhood of hard work!!

(Note: I don’t know these people, don’t know the school, but the concept of ‘win’ makes it sound lucky or like they didn’t earn every bit of it!)

@JeauxLatham Sorry she’s not well ☹️ I know it’s a pretty pointless thing to say from here but if there’s anything I can do please just give me a shout 🖤💛

If a new boss meant every disabled employee had to renegotiate their reasonable adjustments there would be riots but when a new head teacher decides to make kids and parents do it no one really seems to care despite the disability discrimination act covering kids too!! #tired

How come everyone forces introverts to leave their comfort zone for a while but no one forces extroverts to shut the fuck up for a while

The late diagnosed autism experience is spending 30 years wondering why being a person seems significantly harder for you than everyone else and then discovering you’ve been playing on expert mode with no tutorial.

1) It’s *literally* your job to regulate this platform.

2) If you can’t, what does that mean? Tell us.

3) The Dept of Culture is not ‘your’ department, it’s ours. You’re its temporary custodian

5) But Facebook is ok? Really?

If people genuinely believe Burnham won’t receive the exact same media onslaught, they’ve not been paying attention.

Starmer is not, objectively, bad. This idea that he is somehow the worst PM in British history is frankly laughable.

Liz truss lasted 49 days, crashed the pound and was laughed out of Downing Street.

Since Labour took office, Keir Starmer’s government has:

• Scrapped the two-child benefit limit, lifting hundreds of thousands of children out of poverty and putting money back into some of the hardest-pressed households in the country.

• Expanded free school meals, cutting costs for families and making sure more children get a proper meal during the school day.

• Expanded funded childcare, reducing one of the biggest monthly costs facing working parents and making it easier for people to stay in work.

• Raised the National Living Wage, increasing pay for millions of low-paid workers.

• Strengthened workers’ rights, giving people greater protection against insecure work and bad employers.

• Introduced statutory sick pay from the first day of illness, so workers are less likely to choose between their health and their wages.

• Ended no-fault evictions, giving renters more security in their homes.

• Brought rail operators back into public ownership, taking key services out of failed private hands and giving the public a stronger stake in how they are run.

• Cut NHS waiting lists from their post-pandemic peak, meaning more patients are being seen sooner.

• Raised the state pension through the triple lock, protecting pensioners’ incomes against rising costs.

• Scrapped the old non-dom tax regime, making some of the wealthiest people in the country pay more fairly.

• Added VAT to private school fees, raising money from those most able to contribute.

• Removed business rates relief from private schools, ending an unjustified tax break.

• Increased neighbourhood policing, putting more officers and PCSOs back into communities.

• Helped bring knife crime down, meaning fewer families face the devastation of serious violence.

• Recorded the lowest homicide rate since the 1970s, a material improvement in public safety.

• Created Great British Energy, giving Britain a publicly owned clean energy company.

• Created the National Wealth Fund, backing investment in industry, infrastructure and clean energy.

• Passed planning reforms aimed at getting homes and major projects built faster.

• Improved relations with the EU, reducing diplomatic hostility and rebuilding practical cooperation.

• Agreed a UK-EU security partnership, strengthening cooperation on defence and European security.

• Signed a long-term partnership with Ukraine, reinforcing Britain’s support against Putin’s invasion.

• Secured new trade agreements, opening up markets for British businesses.

• Helped restore seriousness to government after years of scandal, chaos and decline.

People do not have to like Starmer. They do not have to vote Labour. But pretending this is the record of the worst Prime Minister in British history is absurd.

Someone said the most heartbreaking part of late ADHD diagnosis is realizing you spent years hating yourself for something that had a name the whole time.

[𝑱𝑶𝑵𝑬𝑿 🌿 @cntrlCRUISE]

My "high functioning autism" is basically everyone else seeing me as "completely normal but maybe just a bit picky/ particular"... while internally it's me in constant sensory overload, social overload, and fighting against my executive dysfunction to just do stuff

LATE DIAGNOSED WOMEN ARE ANGRY FOR A FUCKING REASON - IMAGINE GROWING UP BELIEVING YOU WERE THE FUCKING PROBLEM, WHEN YOU WERE ACTUALLY STRUGGLING WITHOUT ANY SUPPORT.

[gillian cassidy @05gizmo]

I’d take another adult who could step in for 3 hours and actually take the load off my back without it all going to shit.

[kelly @kellytheboss7]

As a neurodivergent, you don't actually want a "normal" life.
You want:
• mornings that don't begin in panic
• work that doesn't require constant masking
• friendships that feel safe instead of exhausting
• enough money to live without chronic stress
• a home that feels like a refuge, not another responsibility
• time to pursue interests without guilt
• permission to exist without explanation
Most neurodivergent people aren't asking for special treatment.
They're asking for a life that doesn't require them to fight their own brain every single day.

[Ian L Richardson @ianrich15813274]

When one of the most respected referees in world football is refused entry by the host nation, because they don't like his home country, the correct response of the other referees should be to boycott the tournament unless he is allowed to do his job. Sadly, that won't happen.

[Fav @Favwontmiss]

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you "cured" your ADHD by sleeping 8 hours a night, exercising daily, and cutting sugar out of your diet, then you did not have ADHD to begin with.

Every meal when my kids aren’t with me is exactly this!!

Having kids is literally the only reason I haven’t starved to death yet!

(But because I look after my kids properly I don’t count as disabled!)

I forgot to eat.

Autism:
Food must be the correct food.
