I just signed this . Important work by @AIMautistic Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services : Stop CAMHS Denying Support For Autistic Kids! - Sign the Petition! https://t.co/fkKcZpWqhk via @UKChange
As someone who is neurodivergent - & was only diagnosed with ADHD recently - I know the long term impact of late diagnoses on mental health.
Young people today deserve action to cut waiting times & improve screening so we can ensure early diagnosis of all neurodiverse conditions

Boris Johnson just told Parliament, “we have done things people thought impossible”.
He’s got that right…
▪️ 150,000 dead from Coronavirus
▪️ Inflation at its highest rate for 30 years
▪️ Bare-faced lies as they broke the rules they expected everyone else to follow.
#Resign

Our statement on the controversy surrounding @lornaslater
We do not intend to comment on the particulars of the controversy surrounding an email sent by Green MSP Lorna Slater, but make the following point about the issue. 1/3
Autistic and other neurodivergent people may need to work in particular ways that suit them. Our Labour Party Autism / Neurodiversity Manifesto places great emphasis on the need for workplaces to adjust to the needs of neurodivergent workers. 2/3
Right now, the House of Lords is voting on the future of our democratic rights.
Tonight I challenged any Lord who claims to care about freedom of speech - vote down the #PolicingBill.
If you don't, you're a hypocrite.
#KillTheBill
London line up standing up for our rights against the violence of the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts #PCSCBILL national day of action

Neurodivergent protestors are more vulnerable, we are targeted, misunderstood and manipulated by police. They want to silence us but we will not be silenced.
