@jamieoliver

You cannot “screen children for neurodiversity” it is not a condition there is a test for. It is an identity based on the acceptance of an imaginary socially constructed “norm”. You cannot diagnose an identity or impose it on anyone but yourself.

@TheBoltonNews Many thanks for the article but we feel we need to point out that although Bolton College were involved initially some time ago and built some planters Breaking Barriers NW completed all other works with the help of some very generous friends and local companies.

@ManchesterEven many thanks for sharing the story of Michael Sherratt but for clarity his family do not use the term “Disorder” when referring to Autism. It is a condition. He isn’t broken or lesser, just wonderfully different.

A council which wanted to deduct money from benefits paid to a man with #Autism to help fund his care has agreed to review its policies following a High Court legal challenge by our lawyers. Find out how we helped Michael Sherratt. https://t.co/Xr9FYUvDAf #LearningDisabilities
