This is unacceptable. We’ve been advocating for a shift toward broader neurodevelopmental assessments looking beyond individual diagnoses in our recent paper https://t.co/T93iGLkdll
@EmbraceComplex+others have also been pushing for this shift. What can be do to make this happen?
An estimated 400,000 children in England are seeking health services support for suspected neurodevelopmental conditions, with thousands waiting more than 2 years for first appointments. Find out more in my latest report sharing previously unpublished data

For anyone who has organised/is organising/will organise a conference: this is not acceptable!
I’m at a conference today. The organisers just told me that I can’t bring my daughter to the networking session or the dinner tonight. I couldn’t get a babysitter. This is one of those times, as a single parent, that you really miss out. It felt like a gut punch.
