I've been looking for new #books on #neurodiversity and #disability to request or donate to my local library. I've got tons of books on ADHD and autism to go through now, and a few on dyspraxia, but we need more...well...diversity!

Can anyone recommend books on these topics? Preferably new (2021-2023) and written by neurodivergent authours, but all suggestions are welcome. Looking for queer and BIPOC authours, especially. Thanks!

The Martindale Fund is a registered charity that supports children with physical disabilities, hearing or visual impairment, who are being educated in Hounslow schools.

We help to provide resources outside the statutory duty of the local education authority or the health services.

We hold fund raising events during the year to raise money. #charity #Hounslow #PhysicalDisabilities

I'm looking forward to hearing more of your expertise in the future. I'd like to hear others experiences on this, as well.

During initial consults with new providers I often told the same joke. It was humor and a sort of experiment.

"Doctors and I don't always agree. The doctors always want to be the smartest person in the room when, everyone knows that's me."

The providers that laughed were always great providers. The others displayed frustration, arrogance and were not good providers.

Of course I don't believe my joke. Just ask many doctors in my wake.
I'm not very bright. 😀

Kind of sums it up for many.
