Proud Mum of 4 unique individuals. Return to practice nurse, views my own. Autism awareness, let’s fight social injustice

Lots of autistic children vocal stim. Vocal stims, like humming, stimulate the vagus nerve & the parasympathetic nervous system to help bring calm. You should never stop a child stimming in any form, they are self regulating in their own way, which if you ask me is pretty clever

The petition has now passed 1,000 signatures. Keep sharing and keep signing.

People with a learning disability and autism should not be detained in hospitals simply because of a lack of adequate housing and support in communities.

**attention south Wales**

Suzanne’s non-verbal autistic nephew has gone missing around the Nantgarw/Taff Trail area.

Please share and I hope we can find him. Must be so scary if you can’t communicate!!!

More from Beth’s dad, Jeremy:

“2,200 people with autism or a learning disability are in secure care.

“120 people are currently locked in a seclusion room or are held in long term segregation. Most have no discharge date.

“This is not about money. It’s about a broken system.”

BBC investigation - dozens of young autistic people have died after serious failings in their care despite warnings from coroners. There is no legal obligation for authorities to act following a “Prevention of Future Death” notice. I found repeated failings across 51 deaths.

Big thanks and well done to Dave today for managing a whopping 8 hours of sponsored silence. Raising awareness for people with LD who are non-verbal and the need for reasonable adjustments for them to be able to access services. #ABUHB #LearningDisabilityWeek #mythbusting

@MikeIStevens Such a shame as gets confusing when they are using different things, do they need some training in it maybe.
Same with us from ADD, they have been very patient as he has posted it through his bedroom window a few times. Keep pushing for it 👍

[Kate Harrison @KateHar10594429]

@MikeIStevens We had the same issue, he didn’t take to pecs etc, we had to really push for it. Not sure if it’s an expense thing as it’s been great, gives him a voice !!

[Kate Harrison @KateHar10594429]

@Matthew81156980 @AbuhbN @AneurinBevanUHB @hale493 @fisheraddiction That sounds great,we will definitely aim to attend.
