Many around you live with invisible disabilities such as chronic pain, a learning disability, or chronic illness. People deserve to live with dignity, regardless of whether their disability is visible or not! #InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek #EndDisabilityPoverty #BetterTheBenefit

I was lucky enough to be interviewed on #GlobalBC this weekend about the Sensory Friendly Swim proposal. This aired on TV and CKNW Currently I am waiting for an update on the city to see where things are and if any roadblocks have come up. #SurreyBC #BCpoli #Adhd #Autism

So impressed at Dr. Gillberg's reflections on neurodisability, changes and stability in ASD symptoms over the last 40 years @ACTCommunityBC
