And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.” from Little Gidding by T.S. Eliot

Neurodivergent adults Autistic, ADHD and those with Tourette’s are over twice as likely to have hypermobility than the general population in this study.
The study pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35185636/ Csecs et al (2022) led by our Patron Dr Eccles is very important.

#RecipeOfTheDay is Roast Quinces! Though actually I’m not sure this even qualifies as a recipe, since all you do is quarter them and roast them. But if you’ve never cooked with quince before, this is an excellent place to start. www.nigella.com/recipes/roas...

It is 2025 - we really shouldn't need a petition for this!

Require schools to let children use the toilet at all times in the school day.

This petition is going viral on other platforms.

Let's share and allow our children human rights.

Petition: Require schools to let children use the toilet at all times in the school day
Make it mandatory for schools to allow students to go to the toilet at all times throughout the school day when they need to and do not lock toilets so that they aren’t accessible during certain times...
