@DrHoenderkamp There are menopause clinics?

True story today. My sister goes back to her male doctor armed with the correct questions re menopause. She is suffering and being given incorrect and sub standard treatment. Male Dr: what is the problem Sister: the debilitating fatigue, I can't even move some days Male Dr. Me too Sister then gives the other symptoms and asks for a referral to menopause clinic as no one is helping her at her GP. Male Dr: What do you think women in Sri Lanka do? They grin and bear it. They don't have the luxury of the expensive treatments that you are asking for. Male Dr: I will refer you, but it may be rejected. So my sister, suffering, was gaslighted in 3 ways; Her symptoms were diminished, she was told she should grin and bear it, she was told she may not get her referral. This is what women are up against. And this is a woman very well briefed in what to ask and expect. @drlouisenewson 🤷‍♀️

@BoganTheBadMan With delight nonetheless! Grotesque

i cant even find the words, my god

So lovely to start my day with @kathsmithot and @asi_wise dropping into our first module of learning (towards an #MSc for some and #ICEASI certification for others) and getting to know #LifelongLearners better

@SaskiaGrassie @HollytheOT @OTDenise I am listening as we speak! So many ways to speak about and understand sensory integration 😊

What a joy to listen to @HollytheOT & @OTDenise talking about all things sensory through an occupational therapy lens. Highlighting the importance of validating experiences, the impact of environment & #sensory safety for authentic participation & developing autonomy #Autism

@autisticbutter1 @HollytheOT I hope the lovely OT was also able to suggest other environmental and task adaptations so that you were able to consider the best solution together- sounds like she didn’t though 😕

@HollytheOT I had a very interesting conversation with my child’s sensory #OT. Absolutely lovely woman, but didn’t see the ableism in ‘not allowing xxx to become dependent on ear defenders’ PLUS more. Along comes the conversation about autonomy
