'Both books are worth investing in, owning and reading, that will give you a powerful insight into autism '
Thank you for the recommendation @EliTheDDC
2of2 books that are well worth investing in owning and reading, that will give you an powerful insight, autism definitly @HalsBooks possibly Aspergirls by Rudy Simone. Dyslexia: The Successful Dyslexic by Dr @neilpasse and @DyslexiaMission All very worthy & worthwhile 👍🏽 📚

When you're painting the fence and you get a strange feeling you're being watched! He's not even my cat
and he was not impressed by my presence.

Thank you for highlighting this @dmarsden49. I agree @MattHancock needs to clarify the designation and make vaccinating those with Learning Difficulties a priority and stop stalling!
Our hearts go out to @jowhiley and her sister Frances❤ Wishing her well ❤
Back in Oxford caring for my Dad, preparing his breakfast with today's paper. Feels so incongruous for a person with learning disabilities to be on the cover of the telegraph, and so disappointing that this conversation is still going on. Sort it out @MattHancock

Well done @SScown of @DimensionsUK highlighting this incredibly important matter in a letter to @Independent
I have been discussing this matter with my MP @justinmadders this week.
#LearningDisability #significantrisk #ClarityNeeded #COVID19 #vaccine
"Recent changes to the shielding criteria aren't enough: learning disability and autism are still not considered factors for higher priority for vaccination...It's clear people who have a learning disability are at significant risk." Read @SScown's comment in today's @Independent

@MIEcharlestown do you follow @deputygrocott ? He does a fab #FFBWednesday for growing your #edutwitter network (sorry, I know it's Thursday, but you could do it next week)😉

This has just made me laugh out loud. Please click on show this thread, the puns just get better! I think @LiamThorpECHO should give up his job @LivEchonews and go into stand up comedy. But then at 6.2cm that might be a bit tricky....
So I’m not getting a vaccine next week - was feeling weird about why I’d been selected ahead of others so rang GP to check. Turns out they had my height as 6.2cm rather than 6 ft 2, giving me a BMI of 28,000 😂

Shrove Tuesday today and we have a pancake maker extraordinaire in the house! Will is amazing at making pancakes, it's a staple breakfast for him. He bulk makes the batter and makes them most mornings! 🥞
