Muddling through life with sight loss

@Juliebynight @lilririah I had a CTR and several reviews, and it has transformed my care. I now receive specialist psychology input from someone with experience working with autistic women.

I have a team of people who make sure that the action points we have agreed actually happen. Highly recommend.

@Juliebynight @lilririah Your friend could ask if a Care and Treatment Review has taken place. This are independent reviews that aim to ensure that people with autism spend the shortest amount of time possible in inpatient mental health units.

@Juliebynight @lilririah A CTR can be requested through the mental health team or directly through the CCG.

The link below has a video about CTR that might be useful.

@AngelaBarnes @JaneyGodley Lots of neuro diversity among the regulars @TheStayingInn if you ever want to pop in for a pint!

Congratulations on your diagnosis.

Great to hear @Girlguiding Young Leader Abby on #1800SecondsOnAutism today. Lovely to hear how positive experiences through @Girlguiding have helped inspire her career choice.

Looking forward to the rest of the series from @spacedoutsmiles and @robyn_steward.

@CareersDefender @careers_inc I’d love to sign up for your newsletter but as a screen reader (Voiceover) user I can’t get past prove you’re not a bot section. There doesn’t appear to be an audio option. Any chance of making it accessible?

@Doug_Paulley @natalyadell @Christiane @SpeedySticks007 Great audio description Doug! Nice one.

@dominichills5 @RNIB @MichaelRosenYes @haringeylibrary @RNIBLibrary There is definitely work to be done in sharing this information. But glad that you know know.

[Nearly Blind Guider @BlindGuider]

@mrjd1984 @LNER Yes, I have the same problem on the return journey but prepping the station staff to hunt down the guard when the train arrives definitely helps.

[Nearly Blind Guider @BlindGuider]

Great start to my journey today. Expertly guided by Krishna @ #KingsCrossStation. Introduced to train guard Andy who showed me how the loo locks work on the new Azuma train. Now heading north on the 10am train. Great job @LNER

[Nearly Blind Guider @BlindGuider]

@mrjd1984 @LNER Definitely a great service today. I recommend getting there early to be able to speak to the train guard before you leave. They don’t get any information about access requests onboard at the moment. So it pays to be proactive and get the station guide to find them. Good luck

[Nearly Blind Guider @BlindGuider]

@LNER Will do, thanks

[Nearly Blind Guider @BlindGuider]

@TunesLennie @Danwhite1972 I loved this performance, Lennie. Thank you for sharing.

@TheStayingInn @HabenGirma Thanks for taking the time to read your own audiobook, it’s so powerful to hear the voice of an author in that way.

Thank you for joining us @TheStayingInn. I hope you will try and visit us again in the future.

[Nearly Blind Guider @BlindGuider]

@TheStayingInn @HabenGirma I loved your book, Haben, especially your many adventures in Mali, Alaska and else where. It definitely gave me food for thought in different ways to handle difficult situations and finding creative solutions to access failures.

[Nearly Blind Guider @BlindGuider]

@BlondeHistorian @HabenGirma @TheStayingInn I’m so excited about this event. Can’t wait to settle down for a pint @TheStayingInn and hear this conversation.
