Thanks Ali! Actually it would be great to catch up at some point as I have something I’ve been working on for faith communities to run past you! 😁

This stuff MATTERS! I’m always happy to connect with people who want to make a difference - if you want to know what I do, or how we could work together, get in touch! #Safeguarding #Neurodiversity#MentalHealth #WorkingTogether #CommunityMatters ♥️

The intersection of safeguarding, neurodiversity & mental health is my big passion. To see these 3 in separate silos is to not clearly understand any of them. I want to see this being understood far more widely so that vital changes can be made to create proactively safe & inclusive communities. 🧵

Ahhhb yay, you’re here! So much friendlier over here, I’m sure you’ll soon settle in! 🫶🏼

It’s my special power! 😝

I’m pretty new as well - moved across last week 🥰

This!!! Now that I’m deep into my deconstruction journey I realise how much not doing this had stifled me and stopped me being fully alive. And being fully alive is what we’re supposed to be!

Glad you made the move - I really appreciated your explanation in the email you sent everyone. Well apart from the title of the email lol! 😂

As a Londoner I have to disagree about not talking to strangers on the Tube! Londoners are a friendly bunch - I have loads of convos and laughs on the Tube!!!

Stop reorganising the shelves! Nothing worse on a high sensory day than having to try and find the things you usually buy. It doesn’t encourage me to try new and different things, it just sends me towards meltdown/shutdown and I leave having bought nothing.

I’ll be talking about my journey through high control religion and spiritual abuse, and how my neurodiversity added to my vulnerability in those situations. I hope my story will be useful to people there! 🫶🏼

Part of working on my talk is actually having a very quiet day, being kind to myself and taking breaks as I need. It’s not easy stuff to share but I’m so grateful for the opportunity to add my voice and share my story with a conference of people committed to real and meaningful change.

🤣🤣🤣

Hellooooo! Fab to see you in here! 🫶🏼

Haha yep totally!!! I’m sure #coffeeshopcrawlreunited could be a thing! ☕️

Yay!!! Another of the original #ywchat peeps! I’ve found @revdancrouch.bsky.social as well 🥳

The #ywchat days were fabulous - so many lovely friendships came out of that. 😊 I’m keeping an eye out for others from then! It certainly seems much kinder here than how it had become over ‘there’!
