About 10 years ago the lid blew off my water butt and landed upsidedown in the garden during a storm. By morning it was filled with rain - and sparrows! It's still there, a handy bath for resident and visiting birds whose activties never cease to delight and entertain me.

Thanks Naomi! It was a real pleasure to be there - and great to hear from the wondeful speakers. Despite talking about it, I forgot to post a link to the @livingedgeconf.bsky.social! I'll add it below...

I would refer us also to the fast-growing research evidence into ABA causing trauma & 'behaviour'. But as long as teams have a belief' that the child has had a lovely childhood with great interventions, and is just choosing to behaving badly, it's fine to drug them into submission.

Is it?

Gentle reminder that autistic mums are a) more likely to have autistic babies and b) more likely to have pain conditions that need Tylenol (paracetamol). Tylenol doesn't 'cause' the autistic babies.
It's not rocket science.
Unfortunately, some leaders gave up science in year 3, I think.
