🚨Recap: A VERY disappointing outcome. The @NIMHD committee admitted to NOT include anyone with a disclosed disability, yet made a significant decision on behalf of our community - they did not recommend the 'health disparity designation' be given to people with disabilities.
📢Disability community: Happening today! At 1:45 PM ET the @NIH @NIMHD Advisory Committee is giving updates from a working group considering designating people with disabilities as a 'health disparity population'. This has HUGE implications! nimhd.nih.gov/docs/advisory-…

How about for every negative story you run about ADHD brains, you run a positive one, too? This alone will send brains spiraling—into happiness. #adhd2023

It's just not right that older workers have a higher burden to prove they've been discriminated against. We need to level the playing field and that's why I introduced the Protecting Older Workers Against Discrimination Act.

Working overtime to create the appearance of having it all together, even when we’re struggling. This is the essence of masking, and it doesn’t prevent burnout— it exacerbates it.

How often it is that a young person’s pain (self-harm; eating problems) is a desperate attack, via the self, on a dysfunctional family, idea, school or wider system; a plea for systemic change. But we rarely see it like that - instead we pathologise them & treat *their* disorder.

"Disability Inspo" (translation): something makes others feel good while completely ignoring the fact that we [people with #disability] want to be treated like people first. Thanks to Ms. Denise Brodey for highlighting such a sappy egoistic habit. @dbrodey 👈🏻 WeYeah! Team

Why @BBCPanorama did you choose to tell only half the story? Why did you ignore the historic, systemic inequity & inequality of access to NHS for 1 in 20 tax paying UK citizens living with ADHD? Is it any wonder desperate people were exploited? adhdfoundation.org.uk/wp-con… @DHSCgovuk
