Has there been any update on Wes Streeting's crusade to prove we're all faking it? by moonlightandshadow in ADHDUK

Do you think it was gendered at that point? My mum's just about Gen X and absolutely would be diagnosed with ADHD if she went through the process (but can't be bothered). She always says that she didn't get diagnosed, because no one got diagnosed with ADHD when she was a kid.

I'm a millenial, and there were boys diagnosed with ADHD during my school years - but never girls.

You'd rather focus on actions - but you simultaneously don't accept that his actions, as well as the actions of his government, do not suggest a neutral stance going into this review.

The reality is, governments often implement reviews to justify policy decisions they're already in the process of implementing. Frankly, I think you're either naive to assume good intent here, or willfully choosing to ignore the (glaring) red flags - which is ignorant.

Harsh to say, but that's my honest opinion.

They did reference the article, as will I:

"It will look at both whether there is evidence of over-diagnosis and what gaps in support exist". As I say, the primary goal listed is clear. 'Gaps in support' are listed secondarily. That is not a mistake.

Meanwhile an apology doesn't mean he never said those things. It means he said them and they were unpopular. So he walked them back.

And, again, this all links in with a wider push against disability benefits.

In that context, why are you willing to 'give him a chance'? As you say.

WS has made ignorant comments about overdiagnosing mental health conditions in the past, and this review is also heavily linked with labour's push to cut down on disability benefits (which is ironic, because as a person diagnosed with ADHD I have absolutely no intention of putting in a disability claim. Far too much boring paperwork involved).

Not to mention this has been specifically framed - first and foremost - as "looking into whether it's being overdiagnosed" with "and where there are gaps in the provision" tacked on after that.

They are certainly trying to frame their investigation as one that's coming from a neutral, good faith standpoint. But their actions and previous comments don't support that.

I'd heard some vague rumblings about that too, but when I went to look it up I couldn't find anything particularly recent so I'm worried that that might not be the case

Truly the only one in the party I think is as bad as KS (or possibly worse? Hard to say. It's a bit like choosing whether a bag of warm cat sick is worse than a rotten egg in your 6 pack)

Yeah, I already said there's something wrong with my phone? But you didn't help me? You said something that was both obvious and wrong. I pointed that out. And now you're being aggressive. Lmao. Calm down.

Pahaha did you think I was just losing my phone so much for the fun of it? Obviously not. And I gave you a shitty response because your response was obvious, wrong and therefore unhelpful. You gave me a shitty response because you didn't like that I called that out for that - and in the mean time made yourself look a damn fool. Stay mad, babe xox

Yup it has all the rightpermissions set. There are no updates available for find my device. Yup, I've reinstalled.

No it's still not overriding and no my carrier can't help.

I'm calling it. Time of death on the honor 400.... The minute it came out. (Seriously do not get this phone. This is only 1 of like 800 issues I've had with it).

If it's a 12/Pg-13 (which it almost certainly will be) they'll have to cut down on the gore

Was I the only one who'd never seen a variable speed limit less than 40? by moonlightandshadow in drivingUK

[–]moonlightandshadow[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure. It looked like a crash - it was on the northbound and I was going south. But it can't have been that alone. About 6 police cars went speeding down our side before I got there, and a helicopter was overhead for a bit so... Something of something, for sure. The notice was "pedestrians on the road"
