Isabelle, we share your hopes, but could not have expressed them as well as you just have. We hope you feel heard.

fantastic to see this article on Interoception from the Beeb. Its really relevant to a lot of the people I work with, and like many things, we don't know what is going on other people's bodies, making it hard to understand if what we experience is typical https://t.co/9OBuZohFAO

There's an estimated 2.5 million undiagnosed neurodivergent adults in the UK & many face mental health and employment challenges.

@BlandineFrench & team are gathering evidence to show policymakers why they need to fund more diagnostic services. https://t.co/c851A6TO4s
