Quotes: "Child was placed on a waiting list. 3 years later they were still waiting when he started talking about thoughts of suicide and had repeated visits to A&E." "Child has been experiencing mental health issues but CAMHS discharged them after only one session, leaving the family without adequate support during a period of serious risk"

I was too Autistic for school as a teenager. My natural need to self-isolate and fixate, my inability to socialise, and my sensory differences literally made me too Autistic for school.

Instead of helping me, the system ignored me while I drowned.

#autism #CAMHS

Secondary school is a form of modern slavery.

They deprive you of sleep, food and water, enforce cruel and unusual behavioural regimes, and threaten to destroy your family, health and home-life if you can't attend.

I will always be angry at the arrogance of the Neurocolonizer to invade my home, blackmail me, insult me, and enslave me for 3 years.

They left me burnt out, confused, alienated, lost without any Autism-inclusive life pathway, and blaming myself.

At age 29 I've now been experiencing the ableism crisis for 15 years. Being a disabled young person means perpetual crisis.

Life is inaccessible, abusive, traumatic, exhausting, isolating, impoverishing.

#edusky #CAMHS

I am tired of society complaining about effect instead of cause:

✍🏼 Attendance crisis is the effect of an ableism crisis.

✍🏼 SEND crisis is the effect of an ableism crisis.

✍🏼 "Worst ever" CYP mental health is the effect of an ableism crisis.

#edusky #CAMHS

I was an Autistic school refuser in 2010-2014 so I'm a "veteran".

The "SEND crisis" is not new, it's just been made worse by deepening ableism.

Healing takes time. ⏳
This study shows just how much.

A major UK trial (DECRYPT) tested cognitive therapy for PTSD (CT-PTSD) for young people facing multiple traumas. Both groups improved, but CT-PTSD delivered clearer, stronger gains by 11 months.
