"Looking back it was blindingly obvious I was #autistic as a child. I also had a lot of what I now know to be #sensory issues. Difficulties with lights, sounds, fabrics, even food textures and tastes. I had no idea they were #autism-related, and knowing now makes my life so much easier." https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/health/i-always-thought-i-was-eccentric-when-i-was-diagnosed-with-autism-as-an-adult-everything-finally-made-sense/a820911213.html

Governments have grasped #LongCovid’s threat—millions unable to work and requiring long-term medical care—and are investing in its research. This has the potential to further our understanding of #MECFS too. By themselves, medical information and statistics won’t stir people to action. The most effective tool at ME/CFS advocates’ disposal might be far simpler: the personal testimony of patients. https://theotter.ca/me-cfs-neglected-pandemic/

Research into #EatingDisorders tends to exclude older people. Researchers looking to study interventions tend to recruit participants from social media or from #EatingDisorder clinics – meaning older adults are largely ignored. Consequently, guidelines for interventions are based on evidence for what works in a younger cohort. https://theconversation.com/older-people-have-eating-disorders-too-but-theyre-a-largely-ignored-group-201053

Over 600,000 workers have had to leave the labor force due to #LongCovid. Wait times for #DisabilityInsurance decisions can range from months to years. About 10,000 people annually, waiting for #disability, and with long #Covid, it will only get worse. https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/25/business/long-covid-workforce-issues-disability-claims/index.html
