Last on my various ADHD rambles today, just a single post.
Anyone wanting to know more about ADHD (not necessarily management but what it is), should take the time to watch this video series. The *single* best and most detailed explanation ever.

@moog77 Really appreciate that Chris! I've tested it to death but only against the schools that I subjectively know which clearly isn't like 15000 🤣 so thats invaluable!
So - I did a thing.

seND Lens is now live in an early state! A tool to try and help parents understand and look at school data around how individual schools *may* be doing with SEN, particularly ND SEN.
Expansion below!
@moog77@_colourmeamused True, but starmer is not going to make things any better at this point.
And I say that as someone who thinks he's generally ok. But far too indecisive, zero charisma and terrible communicator.
(Zero desire to see streeting in mind you)
Anyway. If you have a passing interest...please check it out. Errors expected (!), but will be refined hopefully. To my knowledge this is the first analysis and tool of it's type targeting this specific measure, so hoping it'll be useful. Feedback appreciated! ☺️
This is almost certainly because this is how poor Sen implementation handles "difficult" children. A known outcome.
Secondly....the picture gets extremely interesting when you look at multi academy trusts, and the site captures this.
I have no issue with her being cleared - this was always, in my view, an honest mistake.
The timing of her being cleared however....I find interesting.
EXCL: Angela Rayner has been cleared by HMRC of deliberate wrongdoing or carelessness over her tax affairs, paving the way for a potential leadership bid if Keir Starmer’s grip on power unravels.
The former DPM has settled £40,000 in unpaid stamp duty, but has not paid any penalty as a result of the investigation.
HMRC was also satisfied there was no tax avoidance.
Rayner tells me she was “bruised” by whole experience because of intrusion into her disabled son’s personal life, but also because it had appeared as though she was “in it for myself” rather than on the side of ordinary people.
Rayner indicated she may run in event of a contest as she would “play my part” and that she understood why Labour MPs were so upset following last week’s election crushing. She said Starmer should “reflect on” stepping aside.
@DudeAdhd Some services are at least starting to switch onto this and perform joint assessments of ADHD and ASD, even if initially referred for only one of them - unfortunately this is still slow progress.
@DudeAdhd Agree.
The clustering of some of these conditions - ASD and ADHD in particular, but also hyper mobility and I'm sure others (as you allude to) - is grossly underappreciated by most (including most professionals).
The coexistence of ADHD and ASD is *really* high!
@DudeAdhd (sorry - correction - DS is now also explicit but only very recently, low numbers, and a very distinctive condition that would almost always I would presume end up with EHCP)
