As someone who suffered from severe postnatal depr

As someone who suffered from severe postnatal depression after the birth of my two eldest boys, only 14 months apart, I have a keen interest in the Lindsay Clancy trial. I am trying to stay away from the rabbit hole of TikTok and stick to the facts where possible, but it’s hard not to be drawn in. For me, so far, all I see (I’m only on day 2 of the trial) is yet another mother suffering in silence, being fobbed off with pills and the easiest action being taken by professionals. A mother begging for help and not being supported professionally. What are your feelings so far? Do you feel that we are letting mothers down in their need for proper support during those first few weeks and months after childbirth in terms of mental health? Are we too quick to chuck a pill at someone who actually requires more structured support?

Whatever the truth, the tragedy will always be the death of those beautiful children.

It’s nearly that time again… whose EHCP review

It’s nearly that time again… whose EHCP review is coming up?! Ask me anything you’re not sure about.

Like many of us SEN mums, I’m now qualified to L3 in SEND LAW with @ipseacharity to ensure that the EHCP is legal and has SMART targets/goals.

I’m Fay, neurodivergent, perimenopausal mum of a PDA child who has been avoiding school for pretty much all of secondary. I had to learn on the job, but I’m here so you don’t have to!

Stick around, glad to have you here 👍🏻

Robbie Williams has just described his intrusive t

Robbie Williams has just described his intrusive thoughts as “inside Tourette’s,” his autism as a “get out of jail free card,” and chucked his ADHD in for good measure. All in one interview.

I get it. He’s talking, he’s not hiding, and visibility from anyone with a platform isn’t nothing. But this isn’t visibility. It’s four separate things, mashed into one soundbite, with none of them explained properly. And my cynicism feels they have all been used to sensationalise an interview for his new clothing range

Intrusive thoughts aren’t tics. Having ‘a bit’ of autism isn’t a helpful description. They are all distinct conditions which can co-occur, and conflating them on a stage in front of millions just teaches people the wrong shorthand.

The bit that actually stings is “get out of jail free card.” Because for us, it’s not a card. It’s the meltdown after masking all day. It’s the diagnosis that took years and cost money we didn’t have. It’s not an excuse for being weird; it’s a lived reality we manage every single hour, not just when it’s convenient.

I’m not annoyed he’s talking about it. I’m annoyed at how loosely, and how far that loose version will travel. Am I being ‘too sensitive?’

I’m Fay; AuDHD, perimenopausal, mum of three, and mildly furious today. If you’re neurodivergent and rolled your eyes reading this too, you know exactly why.

Anyone else?! 😉

A little change from the usual as had THE BEST DAY yesterday at the @edfringe to see my nephew perform his debut show! It was a long day and the flash floods were not expected 🫣 but it was absolutely worth it!
