Very strong and moving comments from Callista Kahonda & Rachel Wajagua to @IASSIDD on being a truly global organisation for all. @StellenboschUni @illinoisstudy #IASSIDD2024 @iassidd2024 @MccarrmMary
The final KN panel challenges our concept of inclusion in light of participation by delegates from Africa and other countries not well represented; we are handed the gauntlet of decolonisation of knowledge and research well said! #IASSIDD2024 @EAMHID @psychiatryofid

Why can diagnosing #ADHD in intellectual disability be challenging? A reliance on observation means it’s helpful to see people in their own environment rather than in clinical settings - need for specialist psychiatrists to make robust diagnosis @KenCourtenay #IASSIDD2024
