Re-sharing this thread for the morning crew, not sure whether that is needed over here, but I feel a bit demoralised that my adventures in air frying are getting more attention than human rights abuses of #autistic people and people with a #LearningDisability

This thread looks at two care homes rated inadequate by the CQC (the English #Healthcare regulator) at the same time as the organisation were collecting an award for their supposed specialist care #SocialCare

What are your most useful reasonable adjustments and accommodations your employer and/or colleagues have made for you at work?

How easy was the process for you, to request them?

Does anyone have any suggestions or creative ideas for in-person work experience/opportunities for 12-15 year olds? In the UK

Particularly looking around:

Photography
Cinematography
Film production
Journalism

These are neurodivergent children/young adults, many of whom don't thrive in group workshops, but have so much talent if given the right environment and opportunities.

Subject: Food/eating

Tell me..

- one thing that helped you as a child (or would've helped)
- one thing that didn't help you at all

...around eating & food, when you were a child.

Reboosts also appreciated ☺️

Anyone else have trouble parting with things for this reason? (I certainly do sometimes!)

Enjoying exploring Mastodon, especially the beautiful art, photography, crafts. Inspiring! (On Twitter, I followed mostly health science, policy, news.)

I wanted to share a little painting my mother did about 5 years ago when she was 95… it is a playful painting she did after I set up a mini-studio for her in the corner of their assisted living apartment to encourage her to keep painting in her old age. She is nearly 100 now!

This US 501(c)(3) organisation* looks interesting: https://stimpunks.org/

@stimpunks has been created ‘by and for neurodivergent and disabled people’, and aims to facilitate ‘mutual aid and human-centred learning’ 😊

I wonder if there’s anything Autistic People’s Organisations (APOs) and other Disabled People’s Organisations (DPOs) here in the UK can learn from organisations like this (and vice versa) 🤔

Thinking in particular of organisations like @amase, https://arghighland.co.uk/ and https://www.autismunderstanding.scot/ (not sure if the latter two have a fediverse presence yet), and many more like them

*This is shorthand for an organisation satisfying the requirements of Title 26 of the United States Code, §501(c)(3). Such organisations are tax-exempt, non-profit bodies of various prescribed types
