Raising the #AutismPride Flag for @SouthLanCouncil for 1st time but same Local Authority won't protect him in his own garden. Threatening interdict to force us to remove a lock from a gate separating our son from the busy road because their Tenant refuses to lock the gate.

Make sure you are accessing the Right NHS Care in the Right Place.
If you think you need A&E, but it's not life-threatening, you can call NHS 24 on 111. Or you can still contact your GP practice during the day. More info at https://t.co/jpDRPazudf

[NAITScotland @NAITScotland]

Great resources for professionals to learn about ways to provide accessible services

[Magi Williamson @magi_williamson]

@Falkor_69 @SouthLanCouncil Read the small print. They'll pay you for hosting a young person BUT if you claim benefits you'll be penalised. Don't forget this Council want our children to walk up to 3 miles to school. They're increasing costs to access Leisure Facilities and many other cuts going forward!

[Magi Williamson @magi_williamson]

@SouthLanCouncil Host families will be financially penalised if they claim any benefits...might want to highlight that in your main post @SouthLanCouncil. The same Council reminding us of cuts they have to make due to their budget. Where is this cash coming from?

[CYP Occupational Therapy (NHS Lanarkshire) @OccupationalTh4]

Today we are sharing some of the ASN friendly activities happening across Lanarkshire this festive season.

[Neurodevelopmental Service-CYP NHSL @NeuroDevNHSL]

Neurodiversity is all about celebrating how some people's brains might think differently to others.
This video, created by Differing Minds does a great job at explaining this in a very neuroaffirming way.

Some autistic people find making phone calls extremely stressful and unpleasant and will avoid them at all costs.

Please don’t try and force your communication preferences on others.

[Magi Williamson @magi_williamson]

Please put this right. We've been pleading with @SouthLanCouncil for 10 years to help us. We are all entitled to CCTV BUT NOT when it's directly filming into another person's property. This is invasive. What is this person intentions towards my children?

[Magi Williamson @magi_williamson]

@SouthLanCouncil your Tenant has repositioned CCTV cameras once again, so that they are overlooking our garden. Our children have the right to privacy/safety in their back garden @UNCRC. There's also a plank of wood jammed against our wall and gas pipe. Please sort this.

[Magi Williamson @magi_williamson]

@SouthLanCouncil @PSOSSouthLshire are aware of the camera. He pointed it down towards his own garden for a few weeks and it's now returned to original, invasive position since Monday of this week. Our children have a right to privacy in their back garden. 10 years of harassment!
