@HPicked_hotels We wish to say thank you to @GrantleyHall_ for refusing our custom, and to Wood Hall Hotel Wetherby for giving us a warm welcome. We enjoyed a very special wedding celebration, with attentive friendly service and the most delicious food. Five stars to Wood Hall!

Just for curiosity - if you made mud pies as a child (UK) what did you call it? I grew up in the Surrey and called it 'making mud Pies' my partner (Yorkshire) calls it playing 'slap-dash'.

So I had some interesting comments after posting a photo of my 25 year old son with a half of beer, he's autistic and has learning disabilities, that doesn't mean he doesn't get to have a beer, that he doesn't get to experience life just like any other 25 year old.

Bad news signed on for first time in months and sickened again by the treatment of people with LD; the good news is I passed my MAEd (Applied Linguistics) @OU with merit. Tomorrow I give the second of two training sessions to daughter's care staff. Tiny steps to influence change

#askingautistics does anyone in the UK know of any social skills training for autistic adults without LD? Particularly in North Yorkshire? TIA

Just to add to the worry of youngest being 8-9 weeks from homelessness, and second transition of year, social care striving but as yet unable to find accommodation, ex hub, the other half of the 2-1 she has for weekends at home just got a shielding letter. 😳
@vicderbyshire @BBCNews Those with severe learning disabilities who cannot cope with vaccination centres are being told 'no other way of being given vaccine'. People with CMT incorrectly told not in at risk group. Unnecessary covid vaccine barriers for the disabled. @AUNYorks
