Abubakar and CQC Press Office #SEND inspection on Somerset Council and @somersetccg April 2020 docs.somerset.gov.uk/wl/?id=qPGuSh8…

So much of my work during the pandemic essentially involves saying to government ‘you forgot about disabled people’. If disabled peoples organisations were properly involved in policy design, a large chunk of the JRs government has faced and will face would go away.

Please share and share! - SOMERSET parent/carers - PLEASE COMPLETE THIS annoymous survey regarding your SEND experiences in Somerset: surveymonkey.com/r/52RDVD3 Follow: #UKfailsChildren #SomersetSENDharm #AccountabilityNow

Look how handsome my boy is! He dressed himself today and I think he did a fabulous job 🥰🙌🏻

There is a petition on the parliamentary petitions site to extend urgently the statutory age limit for SEND provision in the wake of COVID-19. As young people with disability are losing almost of a year of education, EHCP should be extended to age 26. ow.ly/JWGj30qNBET

If a child is living in #Somerset with #SEND they will end up under one of these pathways. Children’s services is the dipleation of respite and services. CWD are the disabled social care team. Many are under all the other services! #SomersetSENDharm

Some thoughts on tribunals for those diagnosed with BPD. "the young women (and it is always young women) are not aware of how far their treatment has moved from what NICE would recommend" beamconsultancy.co.uk/the-blog/2020/…

@paedsnursebeth Bethany's dad Males tend to be shoehorned into antisocial or narcisisstic personality disorder instead :( the ratio is 3:1, female to male diagnosis. Nice to see the number of studies linking undiagnosed female autism to bpd really are increasing over the years though psva.org/wp-content/upl…

Keir Harding This is horrible! So many Autists are misdiagnosed with BPD and I could totally see how an Autistic person locked in a sensory overwhelming environment would be stimming/self harming more. Thank you for helping these ppl!

MD or Bust - The Equitable Autist-Knowledge Magpie Thanks for saying. I saw too many young girls get sent to awful places knowing that in another part of the country it wouldn't happen. I just couldn't watch it anymore.

Keir Harding This is really interesting. I know it’s probably not huge numbers, but I do wonder how many might be diagnosed with autism, specifically PDA, if those with experience of this were assessing...

Steph’s Two Girls I wouldn't say many diagnosed with BPD were correctly diagnosed - its such a messy diagnosis that all sorts of issues that challenge clinicians are slipped into that diagnosos.

Facebook Live Q&A this evening. 8pm - 9pm with Harry Thompson. Author of the PDA Paradox - the highs and lows of my life on a little known part of the Autism Spectrum. @Bisnetpage facebook.com/Bisnetpage #PDA #Autism #AutismAwareness #ActuallyAutistic PDA Society PDA ACTION
