Exciting week this week as the book that I co-wrote a chapter for has been published. The Holistic Career Coaching Handbook. I wrote a chapter on neurodiversity in the workplace with Aretha Rutherford (who is too sensible to have social media, so I can't tag her). 1/3

Great conversation about the emotions behind the avoidance or resentment of writing. Understanding our relationship to the writing, and our response to that... One to bookmark and return to next time I'm in avoidance mode!

Emotional labour and academic writing
Academic writing coaches Dr Jane Jones and Dr Anna Clemens talk about emotional labour, procrastination, fear of rejection, perfectionism, writing books and what writing really is.

Yesterday, NHS England published the independent ADHD Taskforce interim report with initial recommendations for improved cross-sector support.
The full report is still to come, but I hope that this shows that the work is starting in earnest, and is being supported at the highest levels.

Every time I think about writing something about a relevant recent issue, in this case overdiagnosis, @garwboy.bsky.social writes something infinitely better than I would have managed. It's like a psychic public service he's doing.

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.
