A colleague recommended this book to a parent and I bought a copy for myself earlier this week to review.

I think it is an accessible, informative and neuroaffirmative read for autistic children and young people. Supporting adults should find it very helpful too!

Someone told me today, that when they watched me on the documentary #anorexiamyfamilyandme they knew they had a serious problem, and they have now sought help 🥹🩷 stories like that makes it so worth it to have taken part in the documentary 🙏

After 3 years of lectures, placements & research, a blizzard wouldn't have stopped me attending my conferring ceremony to collect my degree in UCD yesterday!

Congratulations to my fellow graduands & my sincere thanks to Dr Sloan & the rest of the DEdPsych team in the School of Education, UCD.

Congratulations to the newest cohort of educational psychologists graduating from University College Dublin, with their Doctorates!

The UCD School of Education team are so proud of you all and wish you all the best in your careers!

Best of luck tomorrow, Deputy Barrett! Thanks again to you & your party, particularly Bríd Smith, for supporting the funding of trainee educational psychologists.

Despite that debate's flaws, it was nice to see that the #GE24 discourse around it on this app was not dominated by bigoted, misogynistic & racist posts from nameless/faceless accounts like there would have been on that other online space

I've high hopes for #spéirgorm

To be fair, I've seen media reports of issues with the SF spending plans as well as those of FF and FG since the report above was published:

Barra Roantree: How do the spending plans in each party's manifesto compare?

The economic commentator says Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil and Sinn Féin all have serious questions to answer on their spending plans.
