Eleanor @eleanorturney.co.uk · 25/09/2026Yes, a better understanding of autism and ADHD will place a burden on the NHS and education systems. That is a reason to BETTER RESOURCE THOSE INSTITUTIONS, not to penalise children whose parents can't afford private diagnoses or make them suffer for 2 years before any chance of accessing support. 100
Eleanor @eleanorturney.co.uk · 25/09/2026The story is infuriating, but so is the reporting. More children are being diagnosed because the diagnostic criteria have improved, and because parents and teachers are better educated and able to spot issues. What would previously have been called "naughty" or "acting out" is better understood. 100

NO IT FUCKING DIDN'T. The % *diagnosed* rose. The % of autistic children probably didn't change! 120
