I had an autistic shutdown at the start of my workshop on being an autistic client in therapy. That's never happened to me before when presenting a workshop. I am very proud of myself for not moving into shame, but rather taking a break, noticing what I needed and doing it.

Today we remember Daniel De-Gale, the spearhead for the ACLT and the reason why today we’re still so passionate about saving lives through donation.
Daniel stole the hearts of the public when he appeared on many news outlets to talk about his need to find a stem cell donor. Many people were inspired by his story and were compelled to register to be potential donors.
Be part of the conversation TOMORROW!

Just had a fine needle biopsy, which confirmed the lump is cancer.
I imagine there will be some who would love me to disappear, but let me tell you, Cancer will NOT stop me. In fact, I am more determined to succeed
Warning: Miss one month’s council tax payment & it could ask you to pay the whole year bill within weeks. Council tax debt collection is far worse than finance firms. It’s destructive especially for those with mental health issues. My speech at @MMHPI campaign launch

This is Frank and he has had a coffee stand at the top of the steps at Bethnal Green tube for as long as I can remember.
When the new restaurant/coffee shop next door opened along with another high street outlet opening across the street, Frank suddenly found that his license from the council had been revoked and he was chucked off his stand.
I believe it was to make way for these new shops to take his regular custom. They didn’t need him in the way of gaining maximum profit... so Frank was gone.
Well the locals were having none of it and a petition started demanding his return.
How dare they do this to him.
How dare these people smash his business and leave him with nothing.
After a lot of pressure the council backed down and Frank had his licence and pitch returned to him but sadly by that time Frank had sold his equipment to feed his family and try to survive.
So the good people of Bethnal Green started crowdfunding and here’s the result... Frank back in business on his old pitch with brand new equipment and even a little hut now to shelter him from the rain... Brilliant!!
He is truly the happiest man in East London and it’s wonderful to see.
It really does show that if we all stick together, stand up to them and just say no... the little guy can win.
If you’re in Bethnal Green come and have a coffee with this lovely man. 🧡
