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"

And my challenge to the fiction fanatics: Name just one conspiracy fiction that is more complex than the reality it purports to replace.

Otto, I'm encouraging folk to move from: 'Conspiracy theory' to 'Conspiracy fiction' The former is gifted an air of scientific and academic gravitas. The latter gives it far more realism. Another fiction simplifying the world for the hard of thinking.

Three years ago today, Hamas carried out a horrific terror attack in Israel. We remember all those killed and taken hostage, and the tens of thousands of Palestinians killed in Gaza since.

Top tip for making model buildings - use the clear plastic film from a box of Tunnocks Teacakes to make the windows. Mostly because then eating a whole box of teacakes is necessary to the build, not just a side effect of the tea breaks...

The disgraced former Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, had pushed the story that he'd been in power for a decade. Woefully wrong, but should have been just half way through and flying high just now. Meanwhile, there have now been three PMs since yet another of his failed assertions.

so odd to watch trump, right out in the open, make clear (again) his intention to steal an election. Doesn't mean he'll succeed, but the intent alone is clearly an impeachable offense. Are any elected officials saying this? It's not a quixotic task, but a necessary one to make clear this is wrong.

IMPORTANT: The Dutch invested €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart governments do the math on investing in better mobility. Let’s be clear— it WASTES public money to NOT do it. #CityMakingMath HT @modacitylife.com
