This is how you write a headline.

Here's the autism, ADHD and mental health review. I'd recommend at least scanning through the exec summary (20ish pages) to understand what they actually found, which isn't quite what the headlines are saying (though elements are still worrying!) www.gov.uk/government/p...

Independent review into mental health conditions, ADHD and autism: final report
Final report detailing the findings of the independent review into the prevalence and support for mental health conditions, ADHD and autism.

This means less support for people with learning disabilities like my daughter. Part of responsible and ethical system management is gatekeeping so that the most vulnerable are able to access help. It just isn't grown up to say "help everyone with whatever they need," unless there's a plan to pay.

.at the moment the story appears to be if we meet the need early it won't escalate and in the end will be cheaper, allowing our systems to manage the increased demands. This is nice but we have to ask whether this is true. Do we have models where this has worked in the past? Anywhere?

It’s a lazy, lightweight depiction of the condition that doesn’t really represent either #autism or #adhd particularly well, and certainly doesn’t represent anyone profoundly affected by either disorder who has severe needs

Our experience of autism is that it robbed our son of speech, intellectual development and came packaged with epilepsy that regularly puts his life in jeopardy This picture suggests #autism means you’re clearly able to do your homework so long as someone stands with you and you have a popper handy

Ian Goldsworthy @iangoldsworthy.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
Not commenting on the review yet but the picture used to support this article is a classic example of how making #autism into #asd has diluted the meaning of the word
A boy does homework holding a popper because that is all autism and adhd are 🤬

Peter Gabriel releases his new album “The housing association hasn’t fixed the lift in our tower block, and now all the lights on the staircases have blown, rent’s expensive enough as it is and we’re trapped in our own homes”. Available at Our Price Records today!

Driving my son down to Kent Uni on Saturday and have made a playlist of the songs that were the soundtrack to his childhood to listen to on the way down They’re mostly memories of very good times but god I’m going to be a mess when Remember Me by The Zutons (his favourite song aged 3) comes on
