In S17 of #Taskmaster, Nick Mohammed dressed as a vampire for his tasks. The production scrubbed all his reflections when he's dressed like this, but the only way I knew is because someone told me about it. It's subtle and very cool.

Retired ghost train animatronic Streeting said: “I’m so nervous. What if he picks up? What if he’s seen this ADHD thing and gone ‘Attaboy, Streeting! Why don’t you come to the White House and play a round of golf with me and my friends? They’re your friends now, too, Wes, and so am I’?”

Wes Streeting is currently waiting by the phone hoping fellow health secretary Robert Francis Kennedy Jr has finally noticed what a special little evil boy he is, according to political sources. Stree...

An independent taskforce *just* did a huge review of ADHD in England, and the conclusion was that it's "under-recognised, under-diagnosed and under-treated."

I was going to quote-skeet this with "by owning a normal house" but actually that's the very first point made in a quite funny article.

It's revealing about taboos around racism that the visceral bullying racism of schoolboy Farage cuts through while the much more consequential thinly veiled racism of adult Farage doesn't. Many people need that veil and flinch when it's removed. You can advocate racist policies but not say the words

In addition - the vast majority of diagnoses do *not* end with someone claiming a disability benefit or entering unemployment! Most people getting a diagnosis do in fact just successfully get a reasonable adjustment from their employers or make a lifestyle change and carry on with their lives.
This is the disability angle to go with.

Have seen the idea that the UK is *causing* mental health and developmental conditions because it's so shit, and that's not the progressive take the people making it think it is.
This just seems like the wrong end of the telescope to me. Review should be into barriers to employment, not diagnosis.

I really *do* have a fine motor condition, but in the 21st century this poses absolutely no barrier to me working in 90 per cent of jobs in the UK.

Today is the start of COURSEWORK WEEK and after an initial bad start, we are now at about 28% complete, which doesn’t feel too awful. If tomorrow we can get to 50% that would be good. 60% would be back on track.
