Learning Disability Awareness Week, lots of positives flying around and talk of changing attitudes but not a lot of substance IMO. So, what can you, as a professional in non specialist services learn/do? A thread.🧵

Thanks Twitter, you used to be good.

Oh and here is a typo for the memoreis

@Martin_Nekkolai Yeah, well you pushed me there, I'm sorry

[Alistair Beverley @theLDphysio]

Wait, they gave you 3 slots???

[Martin Christensen @Martin_Nekkolai]

Just a few weeks to go until I dip my feet into the muddy waters of Physio again. For a few days at least. I’ll be speaking both days, and one more session than @theLDphysio got. Seems right to me 👍

@Martin_Nekkolai I might have a beer later today

[Alistair Beverley @theLDphysio]

@Martin_Nekkolai It's too early to be having to find the correct colour crayons to be able to argue with you

[Alistair Beverley @theLDphysio]

@Martin_Nekkolai True, she said your hair was quite long

[Alistair Beverley @theLDphysio]

@Martin_Nekkolai About the only thing which is big about you
