WHY Oliver was administered psychotropic drugs following being admitted to Bristol Childrens hospital with focal seizures
This is Oliver before he was chemically abused. His behaviour was NOT challenging. The 2nd video is what they did to him. Oculogyric Crisis

“Currently, clinical awareness of the relationship between connective tissue, neurodivergence, and chronic physical conditions lags behind academia. Few healthcare professionals have a working knowledge of how these symptoms manifest” https://t.co/0ClC6fFDg6

Important reading for all of us who work in mental health.

Research suggests that 80% of autistic people experience mental health problems throughout their life, and around 40% of suicides are estimated to be autistic people.

What are some of the reasons why this is the case? 💭🧵

There is an evolutionary purpose why at least 1 in 5 of us ‘Think Differently’ ☂️
1 in 20 ADHD
1 in 10 Dyslexic
1 in 67 Autistic
1 in 10 Dyscalculia

Not disordered; just different.
DARE to ‘Think Differently’

between 250,000 and 600,000 autistic people over the age of 50 may be undiagnosed – more than 9 in 10 of all autistic people.

Many are in our clinics and we need to do better in starting the conversation that ND may be intersecting with their mental health

[BABCP_NeurodiversitySIG @BABCP_Neuro]

All members of our SIG should have received our newsletter yesterday. We look forward to meeting you at our open meeting in October.
