📊 SEND Tribunals
21,000 appeals last year—a 55% increase. 95% ruled in favour of parents. 💔 Families like mine fight for the basics while LAs spend millions defending refusals.
We were told “no evidence of plan-do-review” despite clear reports. How is this right?
💡 What’s your experience?

Could have written something like this myself - for me it happened twice, with autism diagnosed in my 40s, and ADHD in my 50s. Means that I bring a long perspective and lived experience to my role with Inclusive Outsource. (Jax)
“At 71, she learned she had ‘severe ADHD’, and finally began to accept herself.”
“There’s an empowerment that comes with diagnosis,” she says. “And confidence. Maybe I’m not as awful as I thought I was.”

I was diagnosed with ADHD – and stopped hating myself

“I liked school, but school didn’t like me” with Jo Billington (14-Nov-24)
There is much literature which shows that autistic pupils in mainstream schools in England are much more likely than their non-autistic peers to experience academic underachievement, formal and informal exclusion, bullying and victimisation, and poor mental health. However, how autistic children and

Hugs, soft toys, weighted blankets, or a pet’s snuggle all boost oxytocin, the “comfort hormone."
For neurodivergent people, oxytocin-filled moments are important for managing sensory overwhelm and emotional regulation.
What’s your oxytocin booster? Share below! (Mel)

This is such an excellent thread about one late diagnosed adult's experience of recognising they were autistic, and going through the diagnostic process. For the people thinking it's a tickbox exercise, this debunks that thoroughly. (Jax)

If you’re wondering if you might be Autistic but ruling it out because some of the diagnostic criteria don’t apply read on.
Initially Autism wasn’t considered a likely explanation for my difficulties because I was married, employed, seemed to cope with change, and had social skills.

My thought today is that I don't want to be doing the autism = neurodivergency thing, I'm very aware that is much more living under the umbrella than autism alone. I don't know enough about #dysgraphia #dyspraxia #dyslexia - who should I follow to learn more? (Jax)
