My interview. Lord they are fast!

The School of Psychology at Cardiff University is looking for volunteers to aid them in a new research project📚 All of what they do is with the hope of providing better understanding and treatment options for those living with Hoarding Disorder / Behaviour in years to come🙌🏼

Well said @CarlislePolice @Cumbriapolice & keep up the good work PC 2705 😊 #dyslexia #neurodiversity

We've just said goodbye to an amazing person who's heading overseas where euthanasia is legal. They're chronically unwell & exhausted due to local authority neglect managing their care needs, incl. practical decluttering help. @UKParliament @lbhf are you paying attention now?

Please donate what you can to help prevent a friend of ours (an amazing Neurodivergent person with complex needs) from becoming homeless. Thank you. #mentalhealth #autism #hoarding #firesafety #homeless #trauma #Neurodiversity justgiving.com/crowdfunding/h…

I haven’t yet watched #Panorama - ADHD Clinics Exposed, so will make a more informed comment when I have done so. I am, however, initially very concerned about the impact this is already having on the #ADHD community in the UK. If we are fortunate enough to be able to find the resources, many of us HAVE NO CHOICE but to seek a private diagnosis, given the long waiting times on the NHS. The majority of diagnostic clinicians for ADHD are incredibly thorough, knowledgeable and careful. Many have worked or still work for the NHS doing exactly the same job, and they do not carry out a different assessment process. The ADHD Collective sincerely hopes this type of reporting does not add to the stigma of ADHD as a made-up, excuse-based, or insignificant condition - but early responses to the programme are worrying. We wish more reporting time could be spent highlighting the reality of life with ADHD, furthering it's acceptance in society, and helping those who struggle with this serious, life-long, neurodevelopmental condition on a daily basis. In the meantime: YOUR STRUGGLES ARE VALID AND AREN’T YOUR FAULT ADHD is real and highly stigmatised. Let’s all stick together when under ‘attack’ like this. WE WILL beat stigma and as we do so, there will be inevitable backlashes. - Michelle

*Be wary of tonight's BBC Panorama programme* about investigations by an undercover journalist into private clinics that assess/diagnose ADHD. Vulnerable people are often failed by NHS mental health professionals with inadequate understanding of Neurodivergent conditions #ADHD

You’re around nine times more likely to die in a fire in your home if there are no working smoke alarms. Having at least one on every floor of your home could help save you and your family. fireengland.uk/fire-safety/fi… #FireKills

Thanks @DrJoSteer (author of "Understanding ADHD in Girls and Women") of @AforChildren for explaining on @BBCWomansHour about how ADHD in girls & women can present differently to boys & men, and is often missed/misdiagnosed. #ADHD #supportgroup #mentalhealth #Neurodiversity

@SurreyFRS Love you Phil! It was a great pleasure meeting you last year when we delivered hoarding awareness training to the Prevention and Fire Investigation teams at @SurreyFRS

Fire does not discriminate, so we offer inclusive ways for our community to contact us in emergencies. 📱 We have text service for people who are deaf, speech impaired or can't use a voice phone – and recently introduced a video option! Find out more 👇 #NationalInclusionWeek

@CloudsEndCIC @ukro2022 Great to see our friends @CloudsEndCIC at the #FestivalOfRescue, raising awareness of the types of help and support available to those affected by hoarding behaviours #hoarding #hoardingbehaviours #mentalhealth #safety #FireKills

Come find us today at the @ukro2022 for the #FestivalofRescue 🚒

@HoardingResNE Is it too late for people to apply to to take part in this research?

Would you have time to complete a survey exploring the relationship between hoarding behaviours, emotional regulation, aggression and executive function? To take this survey please click on this link: nupsych.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0J…

@HoardingResNE Is it still possible for people to apply to take part in this research?

Still time to take part in this fascinating study!

@Stevenson3L Be prepared to interview quite a few Neurodivergent individuals (diagnosed and undiagnosed) who have experienced trauma at some point in their lives

It's hot out there! The water can still be very cold and can lead to cold water shock and drowning. If you find yourself in trouble in water #FloatToLive If someone is in trouble in water call 999. Ask for Fire inland and Coastguard at the coast. #BeWaterAware

Well done @_OliviaBlake MP for speaking about her pre-ADHD diagnosis experiences as a child, & how they affected her mental health. More recognition of, training about & practical support for people with Neurodevelopmental conditions should be compulsory in schools #Neurodiverse
