Forgive a bit more self promotion but I’m dead chuffed to hear that my book has been ordered by some libraries, so that people don’t have to spend if they don’t have the cash. If you do (!) it’s available on Waterstone’s and Foyles, as well as here: amazon.co.uk/Study-Skills-S…

Julia Childs’ Study Skills Survival Guide is out now. It gives ADHD, autistic, dyslexic and dyspraxic students strategies that fit. Practical. Flexible. Joyful. We’re proud she has worked with UMO. buff.ly/AsR5hXb

@Snotlady5 It will pass! I remember taking my 16 year old on a fabulous holiday when he kept his hoodie up and refused to partake! We’re away right now with him at 22 and it’s a delight. I think those years are a kind of rite of passage. They come back to themselves older and wiser!

As we bring our family holiday to an end this is our 2nd holiday away where just 1/3 seemed to enjoy it. I look back at photos from 8 yrs ago & they all loved it but now my eldest won’t even go in the sea (almost 16). Is it worth doing anymore holidays? I’m trying to be upbeat!

@Barnacl3s Thanks - I’ve had some KT on them since lunchtime as I’m desperate to see but they’re doing lots of lateral movement.

@pig_witch Tape (if your skin tolerates it). I haven't found a satisfactory tory brace solution for DIP joints or MCPs (thumb CMC joint- I've found a brace that works well). I find an old fashioned roll of elastoplast strip is quite good on DIP joints.

#EDS folk - any advice for DIP stabilisation, please? I always use oval eights on thumb MP, and sometimes on finger PIP joints but they aren’t cutting it on DIP joints. They get caught on stuff, are clumsy and just annoying! Thank you.

I don’t post much here these days, apart from about hEDS (there’s a bigger community of us here). For all things study skills, neurodivergence and inclusion related, please find me here: @juliachilds.bsky.social Thank you!

“You’re so unlucky with your health.” - a friend recently said to me. I know it’s meant with kindness, but comments like this can feel a bit off. It suggests randomness and bad luck. I live with EDS — a complex, lifelong condition. It’s not about luck. It’s about understanding, adapting, and showing up every day in a body that works differently. We don’t need pity — but it’s empathy, curiosity, and support and early diagnosis that will help.

#EDS folk, a question please: does anyone have experience of labral tear surgery (hips)? A friend is considering, so any advice welcome. Thank you.

@RNID Hi there. I’ll be a new hearing aid wearer soon. I work entirely remotely (all day with a headset) and also need to use text to speech due to hand issues. I’m not sure how this will work - particularly the speech to text. Are you able to point me towards advice, please?TY

@jdibon Was told very recently by an HND physio that my SI joint can’t move unless I’ve ‘ been in a car or horse riding accident.’

I've lost count of the number of clients who describe Si joint pain with their hypermobility. This pain can be felt in the lower back, as deep groin pain, in the glutes, & into the leg. We’re told the SI joint can’t move. Probably by the same people who don’t think rib sublux.
