Watching BBC News & the juxtaposition between an item about law changes to stop children dying in mouldy unsafe housing with a line of well heeled farmers about to protest having to pay a little more (but still less than the rest of us) inheritance tax…maybe some of the changes are good

Exactly this.
Cold light of day, the number of injuries and the amount of energy Arsenal are putting into every game, every three days. I just can’t be hugely angry with players or coach. I think they’re short and they’re giving absolutely everything. The guys upstairs need to help them now. I need their energy.

So, to translate, an “unusual” penalty means “a penalty that will only be given against Arsenal” #differentrules

Just heard the sad news about Britt Alcroft, she was much loved in this house. The world she brought to life gave my son a framework to be able to make sense of and communicate with the neurotypical world, and I will be forever grateful. youtu.be/fAfm9Df1y44?...

One of the most helpful things I know about my son J is that he is a gestalt language processor (GLP).

This article makes for harrowing reading.CPD on ‘healthy fear’? These are the types of stories I hear in my work. It’s not just happening in Hackney.

When I hear stories like those from the academies in Hackney, I think that mental health professionals have to speak up. In these schools, it sounds like teachers were being encouraged to use fear to control young people. For some of them the mental health effects lasted years. 1/

Oh for goodness sake. I thought in the autistic community we had got beyond blaming one group of autistic people for the treatment of another group. Things haven’t got better in schools for anyone, they’ve got worse. 1/3 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Many autistic people have intellectual disability. It's important to remember that, for them, "Support is not about deciding things for someone; it’s about empowering them to do what they want to do. It’s giving them the tools to build their own best life." From John Marble et al:
