As an #ActuallyAutistic CQC employee it is great to see this published. People in primary care need to understand & reduce the barriers that sometimes mean autistic people find it difficult to use services.

Hi @DwrCymru is it the landlords responsibility to let you know if their rental property is occupied? My daughter in a student house in Swansea has had a letter saying you think the house is empty. They are paying for water and sewerage in their rent. Thanks.

Check out some of our publications in the comments here. I really do hope they resonate with people in validating the very real struggles we face both within the medical system and when trying to access the medical system for support/help. /3

Right. As a heavy tweeter/content creator who is now maintaining BOTH a Twitter and Mastodon presence, here is a short guide to what I have set up, how to do it and lessons I've learned, for others.
TLDR: It's been WAY less hassle than I expected thanks to tips from followers /1

Today’s CQC report 'Who I am matters' is compelling reading. A stark reminder that people with a learning disability and autistic people in hospital need more help accessing personalised information and timely healthcare #patientvoice#patientsafety #learningdisability#autism

If you've been newly prescribed a medicine for a long term medical condition #AskYourPharmacist about the New Medicine Service. Your pharmacist will explain how the medicine works in your body, discuss any side effects and answer your questions.
