🌟 Waiting for a diagnosis of ADHD?
In response to the noise in the media this week & subsequent distress felt by many, I’ve put together some pointers for those of you navigating the systems. Shared on insta @elizabeth_swan_uk #ADHD #AdhdWomen

@Ethical_Leader Hey Hannah, pricing varies from £750 for an online diagnostic assessment up to £2500 in some areas for in person. Currently demand means private waitlists in many areas are 6months+. VIP to consider support &strategies before & after diagnosis. Happy to share signposting.

RSD appears to mainly occur with ADHD. It's an extreme pain & emotional sensitivity that may be experienced in response to an actual or perceived rejection or criticism. If your young person has a very extreme reaction to criticism or rejection, this may be why. #Neurodivergence

💫 SENCos & SEND leaders💫
Looking forward to working with SENCOs and leaders of SEND this afternoon. A key part of our session will focus on support to reduce the workload for SEND leaders.
What are your top tips for managing workload as SENCo?

@SLT_Francesca This is a great thread - thank you! I’ve found Shaun Tan’s books really powerful when working with neurodivergent children and young people. Lots of ways wordless books can be used - thank you for sharing these!

@NiallAlcock Please advise your friend not to reward 100% attendance. Happy to share research. Really not great for children with medical conditions / needs.

@Tesco I’ve spent two hours this morning trying to book a Christmas delivery slot (a priority slot). Using the app and then the website. Neither let me book past 5th December and then they kick me out. Can you help?

[Women's Aid @womensaid]

Imagine experiencing gaslighting by a partner, undergoing therapy, and then watching that person garner sympathy on national TV?

We ask @ITV @imacelebrity to consider in their edit not platforming alleged abusers minimising their actions on screen.

Solidarity with survivors 💜
