It’s disgraceful that one of the biggest streaming services in the world, with an audience of hundreds of millions of people, has given a platform to a show that casually promotes dodgy and untested science about autism. @netflix should take this down immediately. (1/4)
There's a new group for dyslexic adults. Our Edinburgh Dyslexic Adult Network meets next week to let you know that you're not alone. Find friendship, support and solutions. buytickets.at/dyslexiascotla…

It’s World Autism Awareness week. A week to celebrate neurodiversity and make it about so much more than a week. Make it every day.

This debate needs to be had in the legal profession. Vanessa’s death must not be in vain. Her death - someone I knew a little - has shaken me and other female colleagues so completely. It isn’t just a City firm issue. How do we change the system? @TheLawSociety @Lawscot

PS, none of the nonsense about, "...They don't understand that some children do harmful things & we must stop them!" No-one, anywhere, is telling parents to let a child harm themselves. Nearly all specialist interests are wonderful, safe, joyful things for autistic children.
Wait, what? How to reduce time spent on an autistic person's special interest?
Join us on 2 July at 9am UK for ‘#Autism; The origins of the special interest & misuse of the interest’ with Prof. Tony Attwood. bit.ly/49dWCZ8 Learn strategies to make constructive use of the interest or to reduce the dominance of special interests in daily life.
The five people who died in the Channel this morning knew that there was a very real risk of death when they set sail in a small boat. At least, the adults did. Death was, to use a word in the news a lot this morning, a 'deterrent'. It didn't work.
Just off for a hearing in a rape case. Allegation reported in 2021, trial not before 2025, if we’re all lucky. No podium speeches from the Prime Minister about this. No promises to magic up more judges, courts or lawyers. Just silence, and the threat of further cuts to come.
