infographic of text in speech bubble. "out of everything that's the one thing I found really really hard to come to terms with, people being like "but you look fine". I look fine from the outside but on the inside you don't know how it's all working, you don't know where the gaps are, you dont know where the pain is. Just becuase I look "normal" doesn't mean anything."
Don’t assume children and young people are ok just because they look “ok”.

Infographic of speech bubble with text. text reads: Overnight, Bruce developed severe contamination fears and obsessive rituals. He refused to touch everyday objects, demanded multiple baths and showers, and followed rigid bathing routines. He had tics, his legs were stiff and he walked with a limp, and his hand and wrists locked into uncomfortable positions. He also suffered with separation anxiety." Dont assume im ok, I have a lot to cope with. #BrainAwarenessWeek #DontAssumeImOk
Infographic of speech bubble with text. Text says: Bruce’s symptoms continue to fluctuate, most notably when he is fighting an infection, and he continues to find dealing with his symptoms incredibly challenging. Some days he can manage in school no problem, on others he just can’t cope with the environment and becomes completely overwhelmed. Dont assume im ok. I have a lot to cope with. #BrainAwarenessWeek #DontAssumeImOk
Don’t assume children and young people are ok, they may be coping with more than you know.

Let's kick off #BrainAwarenessWeek2026 with a children's workshop about the tiny superhero cells that live in our brains. Very thankful for the Edinburgh Baha'ai Community for welcoming me and @ernscot.bsky.social that funded the material I used.
We invite you to read the newly published 'Mind Your Mind' guide to protecting your brain data!
The guide was created to empower the public with knowledge about neurodata: what they are, why they matter, and how they can & should be protected.
