I still prefer this to the bi pride flag. The flag's designer didn't want a symbol that signified queerness in the way that an adaptation of the pink triangle did, not least because of his personal history. I like the moBIus strip even more...

The moBIus strip (a pink, blue, and purple Mobius strip shaped like a triangle) on the front of a t-shirt made c2001.

Hello for Bi Visibility Day. I've identified as bi+ since age 11 or 12, thanks to a combination of realising that if I fantasised about a m/f couple being sexual, I fancied both of them, & reading a very 'yeah, this is what society says, this is what actually happens' sex ed book that named that.

Classic examples: In 1663, someone urinated on a crowd. Court decided everyone knew this was illegal, creating 'outraging public decency'. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outragi... In 1962, someone published a guide to London prostitutes. Court created 'conspiracy to corrupt public morals'...

Independent review into mental health conditions, ADHD and autism: interim report

Rosie (she/her) @airfriedrosie.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

Remember Streeting's review into whether young people are being overdiagnosed with ADHD, autism, and mental health issues? Well, the interim report is out, and there's a reason the media are silent on it (spoiler: it proves what a lot of us have been saying all along)

In others, notably ADHD and autism, rising diagnoses and referrals appear to exceed changes in underlying epidemiological prevalence and are likely to reflect a combination of:

improved recognition
changing help-seeking behaviour
institutional incentives
pressures within existing service pathways
Across both ADHD and autism, best currently available population-based estimates remain relatively stable, while administrative diagnoses, self-identification and recorded service demand have increased substantially. In autism, the evidence also points to particularly rapid growth in identified need within educational systems, including increasing identification among girls and among young people without learning disability.

These patterns suggest that rising demand is not simply the result of increasing prevalence, but of several processes operating simultaneously, including:

real increases in distress in some groups
improved recognition of previously unmet need
changing expectations about support
systems that frequently rely on formal diagnosis as the primary route to assistance
Across the system, support is too often accessed through pathways that are slow, fragmented and heavily dependent on diagnostic categorisation. While diagnosis remains essential for some forms of clinical decision-making, the evidence suggests that current arrangements do not always provide the most effective or efficient way of identifying and responding to need.

In particular, where access to support depends heavily on formal diagnosis, demand for diagnostic assessment can increase more rapidly than systems are able to respond, generating long waiting times, duplication of assessment and pressure on specialist services.

The next phase of the review will therefore focus on clarifying the relationship between distress, diagnosis and need, and on examining how systems might respond more effectively to these patterns. A central objective will be to identify opportunities for developing more coherent, evidence-informed care pathways that enable support to be provided earlier and more proportionately, while ensuring that specialist services are available in a timely and appropriate manner for those whose needs are most complex.
