Duccs

I need to learn more, i want be more, for my kids and my very long suffering and hugely supportive partner. So hi, I'm Ducky, learning about neurodiversity for my family and my patients. Oh and for me too, i guess!

in light of what happened with judy singer i'm already seeing ppl do this - please do NOT say "the coiner of #neurodivergent is a transphobe" because SINGER DID NOT COME UP WITH NEURODIVERGENT!

I haven't done this yet but I plan to. If you are ADHD, please consider adding your voice to this important research. Only if you have the spoons to of course!

For anyone here in the UK who would like to comment about the panorama programme earlier this week:

Can we now have a Panorama investigating how services so often diagnose Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder within minutes, without even properly exploring the diagnostic criteria and other factors which could cause the same traits (such as undiagnosed autism or adhd…)?

OK then, you want to play? Let's do this Here's a thread of every red flag I can identify in this article, and why they're misleading/dangerous/just generally bad Strap in, because there are lot of them. /1

Thank you! You can find me all over the place- Tiktok, Facebook, Insta and Youtube- all of which you can find via my linktree below. There's lots more to come too! 🥰 linktr.ee/adhducky

Huh. Yeah. I got through med school AND I do have sensitivities to common sounds. I masked it before to great detriment to my health. I mask much less so now, such that I don't think I can go back to that particular role and stay well

What is Dyspraxia? A simple explanation.

@SouthsideSavior @punishedmother The braids are SO CUTE 😍

@punishedmother It’s a different color now but I still go with the braids like twice a week at work.

i HATE when men have long hair. It’s disgusting. Do NOT respond to this with a picture of you as a man w long hair. I will be SO UPSET.

@SonicBoomSSE @punishedmother That's a typo, right? *Fortunately*...

@punishedmother This is from a year ago so unfortunately it's longer now

@kittenfluffies @punishedmother Me toooooo 😍🤣

@JayThePuppet @punishedmother Majestic 😍

@punishedmother okay i won't

@HartlandJoseph I really hope you're doing ok

Thank you to those who have contacted me but I know my DMs are open 😅 members of the college have been contacting me and I want good to come of this. Additionally I’ve had lovely messages of support, the “sensitive DMs” bit of the mailbox is doing a good job of filtering.

Late diagnosis doesn't mean a person needs less support. Pass it on.

@torb_xyz @didlix I've seen this be used and understood 👍🏼

Should nurses get a 17% payrise? Yes Yes Yes 👇 👇 👇

For the benefit of @Keir_Starmer Gillick competency is an important legal protection so that hostile parents can't stop their children seeking healthcare. It's vital that young people are able to seek advice without being prevented by abusive parents.

@adhd_bee So very cool, love imagery!
