🚨 Adults over 25 are being cut off from ADHD assessments in Coventry & Warwickshire. This isn't just bad policy—it's systemic abandonment.

We are recommeding this talk to our members. It is wonderful to see someone combining authenticity, integrity and professionalism with being openly autistic. Moving and inspiring.
Autistic kids need opportunities to grow up confidently autistic, not steeped in shame. This shame is imposed on us by societal messages that we're broken & defective - as autistic adults, we need to discuss it openly, so we can choose to find a pathway out of shame

There has been a lot of publicity about The Age of Diagnosis by Suzanne O'Sullivan, she argues that there is over-diagnosis of autism. I think there is over-medicalisation which is what is driving diagnosis where identification should suffice.
