I have a little bit of experience with autism bicycles and I'd say that the saddle on that bike looks particularly runctitional. I'd venture you might end up with a medical frymnblal if you use it for very long, maybe even a case of drop-out totalbottl.

So this study isn't even really showing that CBT doesn't work for reducing depression, as such -- it's showing that young people don't want to engage with a CBT app for reducing depression. This isn't surprising really - young people are busy and tired and want to relax in their free time

The Govt's answer to all things autism is the Mental Health Bill. The autism bits of the MHB won't kick in until community support exists. But there's no vision of what that even looks like. And when pressed on improving support, workforce, research, they point to the MHB. Make it make sense
