Politics stuff... as you might know, has become a push factor for many Hongkongers. Many are moving to the UK and bringing their kids along.

Excited & grateful to have the opportunity to work on multilingual assessments, extending the work of colleagues in HK!

For my Masters project, I'm working on a new assessment for Cantonese-English bilingual children in the UK, to better diagnose those with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD).

Please spread the word! ♡

"Autism has always been part of the human community. The reason we don’t think so is because autistic people were kept behind the walls of institutions for most of the 20th century, or they got no diagnosis at all." Per @stevesilberman.bsky.social

Word of the Day is one I keep posting at the end of the year, hoping its time will come.

‘Respair’, from the 16th century, is fresh hope, and a recovery from despair.
