A rather longer post on all the things wrong with Streetings 'overdiagnosis' stance, for those who prefer their criticisms with data and analysis

The obsession with 'overdiagnosis' is a much bigger problem than overdiagnosis itself
The health secretary openly condemning 'overdiagnosis' of mental health and neurological issues shows just how skewed and hollow the discourse around them really is. And this helps nobody.

The discourse around the 'problem' of 'overdiagnosis' doesn't hold up at all when you consider the actual evidence. Pushing it anyway risks harming so many

Neurodivergent people have always been there (we just weren't 'looking' before)

The idea that the neurodiversity is a 'recent development' and hasn't been shaping all of human society forever is as wrong as it is unhelpful

My latest post explains

Many believe neurodivergence (autism, ADHD etc.) is 'new'. But it's been around and has shaped society for as long as humans have existed. We just didn't recognise it for what it was.

It’s kind of hilarious to me that because I decided to be more vocal politically, I’ve lost a few hundred followers on TikTok but gained 10k on IG 😂
Whatever. I’m not gonna stop defending against those who spread bullshit and actively harm those in my community.
Good fucking luck with that
