A reminder that children with ADHD become adults with ADHD, and autistic children become autistic adults. You can’t grow out of ADHD or autism. If someone is born with a neurodivergent brain, they don’t one-day wake up neurotypical. They will always be neurodivergent.

(Bringing back a 2018 Twitter hit): Keeping honey bees to save the bees is like keeping chickens to save the birds. They're a managed species and not at risk of extinction. The bees at risk of extinction are wild species.

Ants often act like inefficient goofballs. They got lost, accidentally drop their good and walk in circles trying to find it but eventually give up and go home, half of the ants in a nest just sit there 24/7 and do absolutely nothing.

Let's be clear,
Wellbeing in healthcare is not fluffy stuff.
It's about workload, staffing, systems & culture.
It's about valuing our own needs,
modelling humanity & vulnerability,
Creating spaces where people feel able to be authentic & ask for help.
Wellbeing must be a priority.
