@DKennedyJones @HolSmale As a parent, fight for your kid, mental health first, appropriate support inc EHCP and mentoring helps massively. "Takiwatanga", patience, neurodivergent parenting strategies help massively.

@DKennedyJones @HolSmale Other year 10 kid coped ok til Year 8, struggled massively when her twin crashed. Missed half of Year 8 & 9 with EBSA (unable to attend school). At independent school with small classes and thriving. Twins both now have EHCPs. /3

@EHRC Good, the PIP / DLA process is horrendously awful for disabled people. Speaking as a disabled parent of 3 disabled kids....

It's important to grasp that the spectrum isn't linear. Each and every autistic person has their own profile of strengths and difficulties. Just because an autistic person thrives at university and has a professional career, it doesn't mean they don't have support needs in other areas of their life.

[Dr James Shea @englishspecial]

Are autistic girls being overlooked?

Great guest blog on why there is so much late diagnosis of autistic girls and masking.

RT and ❤️ makes the tweets go round 🙏

NEW POST: What’s the law when a council fails to meet EHCP duties because of resource issues, but says it’s “trying its best”? Public law barrister, @AlicelIrving, explains a recent court finding https://t.co/2HdBDKc0yA

[Autistic Girls Network @AutisticGirls_]

High Court involvement was not needed to confirm this was unlawful. But will it enforce any accountability to all the Local Authorities who still take (sometimes much) longer than 20 weeks to finalise an EHCP?
Sadly, no.

[Nicole Filippone, Autistic Advocate & Author @sensorystories_]

Did you know that autistic brains generate, on average, 42% more information at rest? 🤯

This explains SO. MUCH. of the autistic experience...

@Vintage_Inns eating Christmas Meal at Crooked Chimney: well, I have had to send my food back 3 times because it was cold. Manager has told us he is not responsible for the kitchen. And has now vanished. 17 disappointed customers.
