Yeah, the buildings in the 1960s weren't built very well. The buildings from the Victorian era are built to last!! Hehe. But going back to the film, I hope that New Zealand will sort out their classrooms.

Dysphasia PV @dysphasiapv.bsky.social · 10h

Yeah, and the Education Minister in New Zealand authorized it. If our classrooms and nurseries are in old buildings, that could mean that they've been built in Victorian times. Or do you mean "old" because they're not being looked after by any councils?

I don't think we have this in the UK. I agree with the tutors in this film, Open Plan Classrooms don't work:

So true. My parents introduced me to the boys, and we all watched this sketch together.

Dysphasia PV @dysphasiapv.bsky.social · 18h

Such a brilliant sketch!!

Should never harm an animal.

Dysphasia PV @dysphasiapv.bsky.social · 1d

I'm watching 'Traffic Cops' and it's about accidents with people under the age of 25 years old. One accident was caused by a car flipping, and the driver ran off, leaving a friend, his girlfriend, and a dog. I think that he should rot in jail for putting an animal in risk of harming.

DLD: Can you see it? Nope, you definitely can't.

If kids who don't know that their peers have got DLD, they can start to bully them. I will refer to an article that I wrote for LinkedIn:

I had to find out what 'emulate' meant as that word is definitely not in my vocab!!

And I will continue. Making people aware of DLD is important to me.

Although I do know that hardly anyone knows I am and knows what I've done, but anywhooo, I am okay with that.

This is interesting:

Hopefully, next year, I'll do a big project that will help the movement. So, please just watch this space for the project.

Dysphasia PV @dysphasiapv.bsky.social · 2d

But I didn't, but activism for #devlangdis is as good as becoming an SLT. So, overall, I feel that I've done a lot and love seeing advocates and allies coming up behind me to join this war against people who don't think that #devlangdis exists.

I'm at that age where I start to think about what I've done with my life. But then again, I realize that #DLDDay is coming around and feel that, on that basis, I've done a lot. Although there are some things that I wish that I done differently, e.g., leave school and go into a Speech Therapy course

I would hate to start to think about what kind of abuse that the IDF gave to an autistic person, like Greta. Hope that she's okay.

Mike Galsworthy @mikegalsworthy.bsky.social · 2d

"Deported" is a very interesting way to say kidnapped, imprisoned illegally, abused, then released. 🤔

Dysphasia PV @dysphasiapv.bsky.social · 2d

Sorry, I don't understand this thread.

Dysphasia PV @dysphasiapv.bsky.social · 2d

The only time you spot DLD is when the person with the disorder opens their mouth and start talking.

Dysphasia PV @dysphasiapv.bsky.social · 2d

That's either a cat that needs to go on a diet or is a cat belonging to Superman!!

The families of New Zealand people that are detained by the IDF are strong. Hope that the government will get them back safely to their families:
