There's something beautifully symbolic about this lone daisy in November sleet. It speaks to persistence, quiet strength, and blooming even when conditions aren't ideal. A little dishevelled but present!

The first sign of domestic abuse - emotional or physical - leave. Get out as fast as you can & never look back.
If you have to think twice if u "deserved" that - you didn't. You never deserve abuse.
Don't save the relationship for the kids either - you're not doing them a favour.
Plan & escape.

Why is @NHSEngland delaying the 2023 LeDeR report on avoidable death of people with learning disabilities & autistic people? Previous reports showed 1200 deaths per year
Is this linked to the Assisted Dying Bill, which raises serious concerns for these communities

Many factors are likely to contribute to the development of an eating disorder. But research shows neurodivergent people are disproportionately affected. Autism researchers discuss many possible reasons why, @theconversation.bsky.social:

Autistic people and those with ADHD are more likely to have eating disorders. Here’s why – and how this affects their treatment
More than 1.1 million Australians are estimated to be living with an eating disorder. Around a third of these people are also neurodivergent.
