But would you pledge your allegiance to King Zippy?

[Gill Bibby @gillo1]

Not acceptable at all. Do better

[Mary Doherty 🏳️‍🌈 @AutisticDoctor]

Different solution needed. Many professionals can easily & quickly recognise a child is autistic, yet instead of being able to make a diagnosis, must refer to overwhelmed specialist services.

Reposting for @michaelgove. This is what it’s like for the families of children who struggle to attend school. They are at breaking point. Cut the benefits of the most vulnerable and destroy the life chances of a generation.

Let me rephrase that ⁦for you @SkyNews⁩. Gove suggests that the families of the most vulnerable children, those who are failed by the school system, should have their benefits cut as a punishment. https://t.co/7fyIdoTxTs

“You’re Making It Worse”
@naomicfisher

When a child is struggling at school and become reluctant to attend, their parents are given advice.  Most of it is about how to ignore their child’s distress.  1/

Autism is not a problem to be solved, society's view of it is. #Neurodivergent #AutismAcceptance

@ProfCaryCooper Not in our house. My husband is ace at holiday research and he books everything 👍

[VeryBritishProblems @SoVeryBritish]

Well, it’s dark, wet, cold, miserable and there’s still a lot of January to go, but at least… actually I’ve got nothing, sorry.

[Gill Bibby @gillo1]

Yes please

[Jim Howick @JimHowick]

Thanks for the kind messages re the Christmas special. Here’s some snaps from Pat’s gaff. The level of detail (thanks to production designer Andrew Lavin and his team) was extraordinary. The 40 somethings plus in the crew were giddy with nostalgia!

@janewright Cheeseface! This picture is stunning. The clouds remind me of little lambs frolicking in a field 🐑🐏
