"Is autism overdiagnosed?"

Yes is the conclusion from a careful editorial by Eric Fombonne. The consequences are still to be appreciated.

Word of the day is a reminder of ‘sparple’ (14th century): to deflect attention from one thing by making a big deal of something else entirely.

Just over a week now until my darling wife and I explore the delights of Edinburgh. Thanks to many of you, I now have a list of restaurants to visit as long as my arm, but are there any other things you would consider essential to do during a long weekend…?#Edinburgh #Scotland

My love for Hamza knows no bounds. He has a beautiful soul. Someone said the universe has sent him for when we lose Attenborough. #Strictly

[RCSLT Scotland @rcsltscot]

In case you missed it! At the AHP debate @ScotParl last week @MareeToddMSP expressed her enthusiasm for the additional investment in early intervention & speech & language therapy. More info to follow about this exciting development.

The best way to see Van Gogh's "Starry Night" is to stare at the center of the spiral for 20 seconds and then look at the painting

Congratulations to all my AHP colleagues on being fantastic- not just today - but every day #AHPsDay2022

[Kim Ferrari @KimFerrari_SLT]

Most mental health services & therapies are verbally mediated -with the high prevalence of language & communication needs in this population, it's vital that SLTs are embedded in mental health teams to support access to required interventions #WorldMentalHealthDay2022 #SLTsinMH
