There's a first time for everything, right?
So outraged that I'm sharing this here.
Shaming someone because of their #learningdisability will never stand. Not with me. Maybe not with you either.
Time to get loud.

It's so good when hospitals get reasonable adjustments so right. My son is at a hospital clinic & his doctor is running an hour late. Within minutes we were offered a quiet room to wait in. I didn't ask for this it just happened. 😊

Honestly, I DO want a president with a #LearningDisability. Stigma, ignorance about neurodivergence and mental illness are in a very real way, connected to real problems. We do not understand dangers of grandiosity, incapacity for empathy, warning signs for gun violence. List goes on and on.

Quote from Undivided article: "What's really important to know is, students have to initiate this process,' says Hamblet. 'We do not go to the freshman dorms and knock on all the doors and say, 'Hey, kiddo, do you have a learning disability? You want to come register with us?' It is up to the student to seek out accommodations and follow through on completing the process to access them."

My son had his first appointment at Great Ormand Street last week. Due to his condition, he rarely leaves the house. The day was made so much easier by train assistance working effectively and outstanding input from the Learning Disability team at the hospital.

Last week, our #LearningDisability Day Opportunities Out and About Group visited @leedsartgallery.bsky.social to see the @pyramid-arts.bsky.social exhibition!
The members loved it on Tuesday at their workshop. Even those that would normally shy away from arty activities got involved and had fun.
