Many people think that Autism and ADHD are mental health conditions, but they aren’t. They are actually classified as *neurodevelopmental* “conditions”. It’s important that this is understood, because mental health conditions and neurodevelopmental conditions are different.
It still shocks me that people wake up everyday and just feel... healthy. No pain, no fatigue, no headache, no stomach ache, no joint pains just... a body floating through the day. As a chronically ill person I literally cannot imagine or remember what that feels like.
We don’t talk about being chronically ill or disabled to annoy you or be negative. We talk about it to raise awareness and understanding. We talk about it to normalize it. To explain what’s going on in our world. Please don’t be hateful for no good reason.
Please can we stop describing autism in terms of deficits. There are not ‘deficits in social communication’, there are differences, which are unfairly compared against a neurotypical brain. These differences are not less. They are just different!
I am by no means a royalist but I have the utmost respect for the Queen who’s dedicated her whole life to serving the nation.
Seeing her in this moment will stay with me forever. This moment of heartbreaking leadership.
Respect 🙏
This image of a woman shirtless in a sports bra - hugely significant. This is a woman’s body - not for sex or show - just for the sheer joy of what she can do and the power and skill she has. Wonderful. #Lionesses
This year I invited these three talented drivers to Silverstone. It’s so important to pay that forward, support young talent, and work to ensure that the future of motorsport is more diverse than the present. Joshua, Myles and Cordell thank you, I'm proud of all of you.
Daughter ‘I fancy girls’
Me ‘just find ones that smudge lipstick not your mascara’
Daughter ‘you don’t mind?’
ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!
Unconditional love is just that. Love you kiddo. END.
yeah sex is cool but have you ever cleaned your apartment because you think you're going to have sex with someone but you go home alone and have a clean apartment and moisturised legs
One of the worst days of my life was when I made the choice to terminate a pregnancy in the second trimester. The devastating truth is that we found out the fetus would not survive to full term, and that my life was at risk as well. At the time - I had the choice.
