Callout to fellow qualitative researchers: Has anyone used JISC to create a research questionnaire recently? If so, is it user-friendly? And do you have any 'top tips'? All input gratefully received 🙂
In response to Joe Wicks saying #ADHD is caused by ultra-processed foods: Joe is a force for so much good but on this he's abjectly wrong. His point that a good diet can help almost everyone is right. But diet good, bad, or ugly won't make you have ADHD or make you not have ADHD.
It was interesting to contribute to the discussions about these priorities - both as a lived experience expert & researcher. There are many different areas of priority, & in each area, a pressing need for change for the neurodivergent community ♾️ 🌈

In a world where you can be anything, be kind. You never know what others are going through. Your kindness can make a huge difference. How will you be kind today?
There are lots of reasons why the right community care and support for people with learning disabilities and autistic people just isn’t there. One of those reasons is the huge power imbalance that exists between professionals and people and families. We asked our community to…
We @Autism have been saying for a *decade* that diagnosis waits are long and damaging. There's only one answer: Govt must invest in workforce to increase services. We know it; NHS knows it; Govt knows it deep down. Time to do it.

Care doesn’t run from 9-5 It’s 2am, care is constant.
“Three quarters of school staff say more learning support assistants are needed for pupils with SEND, according to an NEU report.” Maybe if they paid them a decent wage they’d get more interest… cypnow.co.uk/news/article/s…
More than 9 in 10 school staff have reported that access to learning support assistants for pupils with SEND in classrooms was either non-existent or not sufficient Poll of @NEUnion members tes.com/magazine/news/…
Children are being forgotten by the government as they face “disgraceful” waiting times for NHS treatment, Britain’s top paediatric doctor has warned. independent.co.uk/news/health/nh…
It's 2024 A supermarket has told me they won’t assist me to do my shopping. The Hilton has told a guide dog owner they don’t accept guide dogs. Disabled kids excluded from school photos. Believe me when I tell you that the fight for disability rights and equality is not over.

It’s jobs in factories, fish & chip emporiums & canteens that taught me more about leadership than a book or a course. I’ve struggled to learn anything from people who have never led; they can spout the words, have read all the books but there’s something lacking about real life.
