@JoyMilne1@Lara_Fergie99 Hi - crisis team support worker here. The support workers are just normal support workers and don’t get any specialist training. We no longer have a “patient phone”, nor [in my trust] are we the out-of-hours service. 90% of the time it’s the support workers answering calls.
@YoungMindsUK You’re not difficult, wrong, or a freak. You’re autistic. The world gets easier to manage when you find your people who love and accommodate all of your quirks. You will start to thrive.
@jk_rowling I was 5 when I first read Harry Potter; my first book and my family didn’t even know I could read #autism😅
It was my safe place as a young child, and is still the place I go when the world gets too heavy.
Mine and Harry’s lives were strikingly similar. He became my family. ❤️

I can't stop crying watching Danielles story, RAPED in a hospital My God, where is the outrage
This has got to stop Those in power need to make it stop right now
@detectfights The white privilege in these comments is astounding. Regardless of race, she’s a child! She is someone’s daughter. He’s a fully grown man! Utterly appalling to see a child abused in this way. Disgusting.
The NHS is in such dire straits, I’ll be waiting almost a year for a surgery that could save my life. Being severely anorexic and malnourished, I’m scared. I need this PEG tube surgery as my body can’t tolerate the food intake I need to live. I hope i get it in time. #NHSCrisis
@domefford @Alex_Grav @ShaneHumabrick@virtuallysoph Why don’t you take this thread to any female in your life, if any are unfortunate enough to be in it, that is, and ask their feelings in this.
@domefford @ShaneHumabrick@virtuallysoph No, that would be common assault. The act of slapping someone’s buttocks, is, an act of sexual nature. Therefore, slapping one without consent is, by such, sexual assault.
@domefford @ShaneHumabrick@virtuallysoph The slap, made contact. Therefore, he touched her. Therefore, it’s sexual assault… by literal definition. You’re just highlighting your male privilege. Your point is lost.
@alisonleary1 Admittedly I’m in quite a bit of pain with my right hip (side of impact) but currently feeling too much of a burden to call 111. Attached is my car and what I was found inside 🙃
@alisonleary1 I crashed my car this morning, flipped, and it rolled into a river. I was stuck inside a smoking, submerging vehicle. I managed to get out. The paramedics checked my BP and done an ECG. They then left me in the middle of nowhere with no signal to phone my family. 👍🏻
@WeNurses I crashed my car, rolled it into a river, was stuck inside, and the paramedics said because I could talk and sit, I was fine and left me there with no signal to contact my family. Happy Friday. 🥲
After fighting for my health for 8 years with not one professional listening to me, it looks like I’ll be finally getting a PEG tube. I cannot express in words how relieved I am about this, and how grateful I am to my dietician.❤️🥹 #Autism#EhlersDanlosSyndrome#gastroparesis
Well that is fantastic news for nurses from @theresecoffey
For all those who have been working without the 47,000 colleagues it has been identified as needed to provide safe care you can now:
“Leave if you want to?”
