Xmas tip: Consider inviting a friend, who is on their own, over for lunch or dinner on Xmas or boxing day... I had this privilege some years ago, and I had a great time with a fam I otherwise didn't know, bar one. Good mind boost. But don't be pushy, being alone is not a crime.

@JocelyneDucas @RethinkRomance For your kid, the acknowledgement can be important (validation), but it doesn't necessarily have to be a formal diagnosis in their medical record, which can indeed have other consequences later. Often schools can work with just a letter from the psych.

@BlueHackersOrg @bogan Got pics of the stickers?

@bogan heap of bluehackers stickers on the merch table, supporting neuro-diversity and mental health in our space. Perhaps you can give it a shout-out? Thanks

@Toto_Albanese Great, but can you please convey to your dad @AlboMP that you also need a human assistant minister for mental health? Thanks, and congrats on the new extra job.

We don't mind which party or government makes this happen, but it's important that it does. Not doing this is so damaging for our society.
