Here's K.Badenoch, who thinks an autism diagnosis entails "economic advantages and protections". She also queries providing school transport for autistic kids & has no idea what neurodiversity/divergence are, and why they have abs nothing to do with, say, anxiety. Pls retweet

Words matter.

New Writing North condemns the anti-immigrant rhetoric and misinformation which has fuelled the racist riots on our streets.

Over the last 5 years, we've worked with over 10,000 children from disadvantaged & culturally diverse backgrounds across North East England.

We've seen increased confidence, talent, #creativity, self-esteem, and even school attendance, as a result ✨

But we can't do this alone.

[Anna Disley @AnnaDisley]

It was such a moving night, thank you @DrBalsamAhmad for sharing your story with us. What a privilege it was to work with staff across Newcastle hospitals and @Newcastle_NHS on a residency led with such care by @tantaloupe #creativehealth

[Balsam 🪷 @DrBalsamAhmad]

@NewWritingNorth @tantaloupe @Newcastle_NHS @NewcastleHosps @paulapenman @THEJillBaker @LittleDoctorVic @katiesusanna @OdethRichardson @northernstage @AnnaDisley I don’t usually get lost for words but tonight I am. It was beautiful. What a powerful program that Laura had led @NewcastleHosps Three years ago, a carer in hospital, I never thought one day I would stand on a stage in public & read part of my story. Thank you @NewWritingNorth
