A recent study showed 1/5 of people referred to #psychiatry OPDs are #actuallyautistic. If your clinical experience is that this is much lower, you’re probably missing #autism in your patients. This 🧵 will explain why that’s a problem, why it happens, and how to stop 1/35

@AnnaMarshMW Have you asked your local Maternity Voices Partnership to support? I work in maternity comms and engagement so happy to help if I can!

[Lisa Armstrong @armslisa]

This is horrendous! Come on @easyJet, sort it out.

[Gillian Cloke 💙 @gillcloke]

Can anyone see the difference..? Yes: in pic no 2, there's a WHOLE WHEELCHAIR MISSING. Lost by @easyJet, in one short flight Edinburgh - Paris. No assistance offered.
Don't fly EasyJet if anything really depends on your stuff getting there...

[Lisa Armstrong @armslisa]

@easyJet @gillcloke 'You' 🙄 nice victim blaming there @easyJet

Happy #NeurodiversityWeek! Looking forward to hosting a session for NHS Glos staff (next week due to commitments this week!) around neurodiversity, and ADHD in particular.

@KateBurkeNHS For me, it's the ADHD😂. I can drink a strong coffee at 9pm and go to sleep afterwards, no bother.

[Lisa Armstrong @armslisa]

A lot of these points apply to people with ADHD too, and surely most of them would just help everyone to work better? https://t.co/IaMPtUzeFH
