October is ADHD Awareness Month. ADHD exists in 1 in 20 human beings; Dyslexia 1 in 10, Dyspraxia 1 in 10, Autism 1 in 67, Dyscalculia 1 in 10.
20% human beings & ‘children’.Such prevalence tells us there is an evolutionary purpose why diversity of mind is akin to biodiversity.
Sometimes in therapy I talk to adults who tell me how it felt to be the ‘worst behaved’ in the class, and the time that the whole class lost their playtime because of them. How no one would play with them or even talk to them the next day. These aren’t inspirational memories.…
I would like to formally document,that the GP’s I work with are amazing .The workload, the scope and scale of patient ailments seen each and every day,the paperwork,the support, the care, the sheer determination to do their best for patients is inspiring thank you 🙏🏻 #TeamGP
I went for a long run on a beautiful autumn day. Everything was perfect, the weather was just like today. A few weeks earlier I’d decided to cut my asthma medication in half, and that this would be fine if I did no high intensity exercise.
Traumatised young people often have a “sudden”crisis at important milestones.
It is important to remember that they don’t have sturdy brain development foundations,which normally gives kids the skills needed to“do growing up.”Question: Can we adjust our expectations of them?🧠🌱
