Everyone encounters challenges in life and it's natural to feel anxious, isolated or overwhelmed at times. Prioritizing mental health is important during moments of difficulty or high stress. @WHO shares tips on Saturday’s #WorldMentalHealthDay: who.int/news-room/feature-st…

A big step forward for disabled young people and their carers today: the House of Lords passed our law to make it easier for them to access their Child Trust Funds. This has been a long battle for me and many parents. I really hope Labour MPs don’t overturn our amendment.

We’ve launched a survey to research autism and ADHD assessment waitlists so we can let the government know the real reasons for the rise in assessment requests. Over the last decade, hundreds of thousands of people have entered the assessment process and the Government doesn’t have good evidence about why. That’s a problem, because it leads to assumptions and prevents good decisions about support. We need you, the people who know exactly why you’ve requested an assessment, to provide the answers. With your input, we can tell the Government exactly why so many people request ADHD and autism assessments. 🔗 Take part here: autismaction.qualtrics.com/j… #AutismAction #Autism #ADHD #Neurodiversity
