A fascinating editorial decision from the BBC, to make the headline a scaremongering “AUTISM AND ADHD ARE BEING OVERDIAGNOSED”, and then, four bullet points later, have the author of the report quoted as essentially saying “nah, that’s bullshit, actually”.
ADHD and autism at risk of over-diagnosis, says report, as author warns of rise in mental ill health
Summary
• An official review in England finds there is a risk of people being over-diagnosed with
ADHD and autism - three key findings from the report
• As well as neurodevelopmental conditions, the review looks at mental ill health, particularly in younger people. Our health correspondent explains the difference
• It was commissioned earlier this year after Wes Streeting, then the health secretary, said there was an "over-diagnosis" of mental health conditions
• Speaking to Radio 4's Today programme earlier, review chair Prof Peter Fonagy said Streeting was "with respect, completely wrong"

The pressure on female survivors of SA to publicly name and shame our abusers “or else he’ll do it again” is more misogyny. The pressure on women to sacrifice ourselves for community safety is disgusting. Any pressure should be the burden of the abuser and his collaborators.

I hate that labour lost the edge it had during Covid. Fuck employers that want RTO.
Return-to-office isn't a policy. It's a pay cut nobody announced.
A new survey of 1,000 U.S. office workers puts the cost of going in at $6,736 a year per person. That's 9.3% of a typical salary, paid by the employee rather than the company.
Here's where it goes:
$2,751 a year on commuting.
$16,538 a year for working parents who need childcare on
office days.
23 full workdays a year spent in traffic or on trains.
17 more days spent getting "office-ready."

Ossoff is acting like Trump/MAGA/GOP and what they’ve done to the country is Actually Bad. Charismatic and well spoken, which sure helps. But no “my friends across the aisle,” no acting like the imaginary “Baileys” are the only ones who matter, no “don’t talk values, only kitchen table.” That’s it.
