Can I introduce the Coventry Grid on Autism vs Attachment Problems? So many of our children have adverse experiences & sometimes that can be mistaken for Autism (can co-occur) but it can be so helpful to reflect more when wondering what’s going on? #EdChatIE

No filters required on a very grey day especially at Gourock sea front earlier. Continuing on the grey theme - next week’s reading arrived when I was out.

Back home and writing up chapter 5 of this phd thesis. It’s been great going down unexpectedly illuminating rabbit holes and into areas of psychology I hadn’t considered. I’ve always loved being a psychologist and writing this study up has been a bit like the icing on that psychological cake.

Such a beautiful day for PhD supervision today. I am extremely lucky to have such supportive and encouraging supervisors. I was reminded I need to submit in about 18 months time which was a bit of a jolt moment though!
