@alisonleary1 It entirely fails to recognise the complexity of our roles. It takes about 2y to take a qualified nurse to a competent school nurse - there are hardly any elements of this role which could be completed by a volunteer

BEHAVIOUR

A mood tracker can help identify highs & lows which can help understand and support behaviour

This one is an emoji version as many kids find it easier to communicate mood through emojis

Over half of autistic people are also alexithymic (a difficulty recognising & articulating emotions).
We'd say much more than half in the internally-presenting cohort that makes up our Facebook group.

Nobody can expect perfect emotional regulation from alexithymic young people.

Some of the main trauma responses. A trauma response is a coping mechanism, some are immediate responses, some are longer-term survival mechanisms. Autistic individuals can experience ongoing trauma through being in environments that don’t meet their basic needs. #Autistic

Hey primary teachers! Have you ever considered teaching about #neurodiversity, the way schools teach about other types of diversity?
If that sounds interesting, check out the free Learning About Neurodiversity at School (LEANS) classroom resources! https://t.co/dkLMQavvxv 1/2

Collaboration and consistency between school and home is key in meeting our young people’s needs.

Could journos who want to write about the scandals around ADHD assessments start focussing on the following instead of misdiagnosis:
NHS waiting times
Diagnosis rates in girls
Diagnosis rates in black people
Diagnosis rates in poor people.
Cheers 👍

Nurses work tirelessly to keep us all safe.

Steve Barclay could have given NHS staff the pay rise they deserve. He decided to take them to court instead.

What a disgraceful attack on healthcare workers. Solidarity with members of @theRCN striking to save our NHS.

I assume Liz Truss reads this stuff - but for the life of me can’t imagine how she could possibly conclude that a sensible response to the energy crisis is to extract yet more oil & gas, which is hugely costly & will simply accelerate this massive crisis https://t.co/SCts6WzIq0
