Many children wait years for an autism or ADHD assessment. This qualitative study asked 24 families about strengths-based booklets for children without a diagnosis. 📒 It tested acceptability, so outcomes are still an open question. buff.ly/AklYM0A #Autism #ADHD

Therefore … most funders that seek evidence of their impact will go to support evidenced, measurable projects and never address systems. So- we remain stuck in the cycle of inequality and atomisation.

Spent a day a philanthropy conference earlier this week. All about systems change funding. I think projects and systems are in competition for the same funds & we will never achieve systems change as linear projects seem better bets on metrics.

Most important in my view “ distracting staff from focusing on children’s needs and normalising frequent digital device usage to children.” As they don’t understand what should be normal and adults impulsively photograph every moment. Why? Do we really want this? Good to ask these basic questions

Who thought it- a new potentially breakthrough technology for enlightenment and discovery could potentially be used to abuse and prey on the most precious parts of our human lives? If only there had been an example of this happening before that AI companies could have learned from and considered?

Well this is damning and explains SO MUCH about why Meta is losing its best engineers; why morale is rock-bottom; and why an engineering culture built up in 20 years was destroyed overnight. Zuck + execs wanted to lay off ~60% of staff. When the business does better than ever.

The settlement today with Meta does not go far enough. Profit has driven some deplorable behaviour and a culture of utter contempt and indifference to young people. Furthermore, the amounts provided are tiny compared to the damage already done. Notable that there has been no apology, no deep change

Star Trek Deep Space Nine scene. Weyoun, a Vorta alien with ghostly pale skin and long and narrow ribbed ears that extend down on each side towards his chin, is down on all fours holding his head just above the carpeted floor like he's listening to an ant 🐜 give a exciting Ted Talk. Behind him, also crouched, is a reptilian fellow with scaley lizardly features. Lizard guy is also holding a tricorder and investigating the floor. Seems like they're in an apartment of some kind. No caption.
