Dear Patient,

There isn’t much research out there on how a lack of diagnosis further damages kids, aside from an increased likelihood of addiction and time in jail or secure facilities. However, I found this piece of information helpful:

“Individuals with an above-average IQ and high-functioning autism, especially those with co-morbid ADHD, are less likely to be diagnosed and more likely to struggle…”

Attitude article – Why High-IQ Patients with Autism or ADHD Face Elevated Risk

With Child X, I spent weeks trying to get some laughter out of him, telling him silly jokes from my childhood. Then one day, I hit gold.

What has 100 balls and F’s rabbits?

Answer: A shotgun.

He fell about laughing—”That would F a rabbit!”

Now, he has a great sense of humor. A real lightbulb moment.

In my defence, what sort of joke would a naughty boy get? 😂😂

Somehow, it made a connection in his brain and opened the pathway to humor.

Best guess. ✅

Trump doing business, the more pro-Russian he becomes, you just know that Trump coin will be exchanged. Doing business with a war criminal? I expect that’s normal for a convicted felon.

Billy Bunter has the keys to the tuck shop.

American propaganda means the average Joe is clueless as to the dangers of totalitarianism.

Interesting times ahead.

EU needs to grow some.

America will isolate itself, which has got to be a good thing 🤔🤔🤔.

A potential empire builder in control, having removed all obstacles to his power and his people in key positions. No wonder he let the Capitol Hill offenders off.

I bet the Saudis know what is happening, and as the head of OPEC, the power games are on. Considering we are meant to be phasing out gas and oil, a huge global industry, I can’t see the world hitting any quotas, can you?

CO2 rules.

So, Russia, America, and OPEC having a chat… I wonder if gas and oil domination cropped up in conversation. Russia has Ukraine’s metals and Siberian oil and gas. OPEC—Iran, Iraq, Saudi, and others.

How much of the global reserves is that? 🤔

51st state of Canada—loads of oil and gas. The plot thickens.

This was all predicted years ago—how, as resources become more limited, the people who control them have all the power.

Look how all civilizations have finally collapsed.

Time for a change.

All I see in the media is, “The system has failed these children,” but nowhere do you see how this failure has the potential to further damage those with special needs, or the long-term effect on them and their families.

The government is diagnosing more and more children, yet it is not improving facilities or staff training. Councils are going bankrupt, which has a knock-on effect on other areas.

It’s hard for the government to admit this huge wrongdoing. After all, these kids were always on the spectrum, they haven’t just caught it recently.

They know what they did but only have one playbook, as seen from previous scandals: deflect, defer, and do not admit anything for at least 20 years.

How many more kids will be put through the grinder by then?

Starmer has had seven months to get his act together, and I am still waiting for the correct response. (Protocols and procedures are clear.) He clearly does not want to listen, and it’s been put on the back burner, yet the abuse of children is criminal.

I’ve nearly finished my letter to him and will probably CC it to others.

If you don’t diagnose them, you have no children with special need and can spend the money on things like a railway line.

Just so wrong in so many different ways.

What do I think will happen to Ukraine?

Best guess what will probably be done: The world would be a better place for the loss of a few Putins.

Emperors in waiting.

People are there just to do their bidding.

After multiple millennia, I think we could do with a change.

Trump talking to Putin, keeping anti-American/NATO sentiment out of the equation.

Trump can do what he wants because he holds most of the cards.

The Russian economy is falling apart. Arms sales are down, gas and oil sales have dropped through the floor. They’re running out of funds with little chance of borrowing.

Running out of equipment and troops.

Inflation rising, interest rates over 20%.

Air defences not defending. The population is getting a bit fed up.

Russia could not defend internal territorial disputes, Georgia, Chechnya, Siberia, etc.

The situation will become more dangerous for Putin with every week that passes.

Trump will play with him, offering but never giving.

If Russia starts to split apart and finally is no threat, more trading partners for the USA x3.

The problem is lots of Muslim countries. Look what happened to the Middle East when you decimate countries and remove the regime in control. Trump probably sees that as more dollars for the arms industry.

Euros, a bickering shambles.

How can Trump have done, with ease, what they could not do in three years?????

America has been playing, manipulating behind the scenes all the time, controlling arms to keep Ukraine in the fight and slowly grinding Russia down with no loss of American life.

Putin should not have published nude pics of the First Lady. Personal now.

If I were Europe, I would expand war games for 100K EU troops close to the right borders so Russia will have to face them off and remove troops from Ukraine’s contested borders.

Drone-dropping 50 lbs of explosives does not cut it. Top weapons and the loan of special forces should do the trick and crash their lines.

Happy days.

As for Trump and the Three Stooges, America x3 has gone back in time to when people were just pleased to have a poorly paid job with long hours rather than starve, back to the beginning of the last century when the barons were in control before the union movement.

Hard on capitalism. At least the communists didn’t starve their people.

There can only be one, just different ways of achieving it. 😂😂😂

Send the Gurkhas, they don’t like it up them. Caped, so no infrared signatures, chopping people up on and off all night. Oops.

Will give me nightmares, and I’m not there.

Got it, Nepal is not part of the EU or NATO. 👍

Why would all the EU countries not put together a joint response to invasion and have someone in charge with a structured chain of command for 20+ countries, separate from NATO?

As America says, “You’re on your own unless you contribute to our capitalism, where we rape the planet and everything in or on it, till it’s all gone.”

Three Stooges, Larry and Co. were comedians, as all three just took the piss (Anglo-Saxon meaning).

What about the nuke threat?

Can’t guarantee it all works. Mind you, we can’t say ours work as they’ve failed on test flights.

The French are prepped and will push a button, easier than lifting a white flag again.

French-trained legion in Ukraine had a large AWOL response to their first engagement. 😂😂😂🙈

Lots of special forces could transfer voluntarily to the Nepalese battalion.

Not what you want running amok in your rear.

Should I write and suggest it? 😂😂😂

If you look at EU weaponry and manpower, highly trained professionals, if push came to shove, we would be in Moscow before winter.

If I know that, so does Putin. Hussein, Assad, Hitler, they all took it to the wire.

The only people who can change that are the poor old Russian people.

Dear Patient,

Text to a friend:
Had a long chat with a teacher today. Totally stressed out because she has a class of 30 and has two spectrum kids. She has watched a video from the school to pick out ADHD/autistic kids. The school has no funding for extra staff, as both will need to be one-on-one until they settle, then slowly integrated.

One’s parents have broken up, blaming each other, which has traumatised the kid further. His anchoring, since he will only deal with one person at a time at a significant level, has been torpedoed, and now he is lost, alone, and in a hostile environment. Bless him.

He will give as much back as he can, probably end up drugged and sectioned. All because of a lack of understanding, resources, and education for parents and all staff involved.

Much easier to blame the child and family.

Deflect and defer is the government’s policy, ignore and save money.

How badly has the system been twisted to allow that to happen? 🤔

Yeah, Trump is a proper wind-up merchant, three shell and pea game. Whilst concentrating on the game, someone sneaks away with your valuables.

The hawks in his armed forces will see the opportunity to degrade Russia so there’s no threat. It’s been in the planning since 1945.

He says no American boots on the ground, it’s down to Europe. 🤔 So why has he taken the lead in negotiations? Putin will probably have to use Trump coin and sign away oil and gas rights like Iraq. No such thing as a free lunch.

Hopefully, he is being nice to get a foot in the door and aid the rebellion within the empire. If he says nice things and insists no American troops will be on Russian soil, Russian media, who have been telling the people it’s the West and NATO, the old enemy, causing all the problems, might have to shift their narrative.

Time will tell. Had to laugh at his reception at the Super Bowl.

The Americans are no different from the Russians in that they have oligarchs in control. Trump and his three mates are worth a trillion dollars between them.

It takes 117 million poor Americans to match that.

That’s probably more than all the Russian oligarchs put together.

A generation of children could leave school without having received the help they need without reform to the SEND system, a group of MPs has warned. Nursery World article – MPs call for reform to SEND system that is failing ‘countless children’

Lots of kids traumatised. The effect is clearly covered up.

The Local Government Ombudsman report into SEND in England offers a damning assessment. The Guardian article – Children’s development ‘put back by years’ due to failure of special educational needs system

Who cares about the damage done mentally to a lost generation?

A report finds the special educational needs and disabilities system in “disarray” and lacking funds. BBC News article – MPs say fix Send system or face ‘lost generation’

Text to a friend:
Makes you laugh. A lost generation.

It’s actually several lost generations.

That’s what happens without diagnosis and budgets to get the job done.

How did this happen? Where was all the oversight and safety? Why was it covered up and not dealt with sooner? Who structured the system to do this? Why is the government not finding resources to deal with it?

A long list of whys as always.

Well, if you only see them as naughty and non-compliant, this is the system you get.

Out of the literal hundreds of articles and people’s stories I have read over the years, not one has backed the government for doing a good job or handling these children well. Even when they are getting help from the government, it’s often at a minimal level, just to control the child.

An absolute disgrace when thousands have been and are being damaged 😡

Yes, I have often wondered why the mainstream media, who have all the information at their fingertips, have not brought the government to task.

You could wait till doomsday for Whitehall and Westminster to sort it out because they would have to admit the cover-up and perversion of justice.

So much for the free press and democracy 🤔

Exactly. Not one of the agencies, oversight committees, regulators, etc., has said the government is right for what they have done to these children, often now adults.

Yet the abuse goes on.

How is that possible if the government is suppressing the truth? i.e., cover-up ✅

Rising demand and ballooning council deficits have left a threadbare service, and children and parents in crisis. The Guardian article – Successful special educational needs complaints in England quadruple in four years

Letters: The national curriculum isn’t working, say former teachers Pauline Silcock and Celia Roberts. Plus, a letter from Coram CEO Dr. Carol Homden. The Guardian article – Early intervention is vital to end the special needs crisis

Financial pressures mean many councils are reluctant to issue top-up funding from high-needs budgets, say experts. The Guardian article – Special needs funding claims in English schools ‘increasingly being refused’

New DfE figures reveal a big jump in children requiring support, putting pressure on schools and councils. The Guardian article – Record 576,000 pupils have special needs support plan in England

Not just me then.

Clearly, more are being diagnosed, but why were they not diagnosed before? 🤔

No diagnosis means no budget expenditure, just criminal.

Not just me then.

The Education Policy Institute (EPI) has found gaps in teacher training, meaning many children who should be identified as having special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) are being missed. Sky News article – All teachers should be trained on special educational needs to help end ‘postcode lottery’, report says

Families are said to be at “breaking point” as they try to navigate the Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) system to get their children the help they need. Sky News article – Almost half of parents of children with disabilities struggle to find a school that meets their child’s needs

CHILDREN with learning difficulties are being failed by a chaotic and unequal government support system, a report says. MPs are concerned that a lost generation… The Sun article – KIDS FAILED Children with learning difficulties being failed by chaotic and unequal government support system, says damning report

All the press are covering it.

So little time and so much to do.

Stu is on holiday shortly, so practice is rammed.

I’m having a problem with my letter to No. 10.

How much do I put in it?

Before I took on Child X, we had two years of battling developers. One of the developments was next door to the practice.

I took the lead on that one and utilized the practice for signatures and quality letters.

I was fascinated by the public inquiry system, very professional.

However, they have to work with the evidence given to them.

The council’s wildlife officer had left, so no help there. The developer had a bat and badger expert check the property. I know, he had binoculars and was using them one lunchtime in June.

His report said he had inspected the property and found nothing of interest.

That’s what happens when you’re looking for nocturnal species at midday. ✅

We countered all the twists, there were many.

We won and are now part of the conservancy area, as were the gardens of the first houses erected in Metroland.

Harry’s case clearly shows that people lie to public inquiries.

I’m sure the Covid and Postie inquiries will be the same.

Shall I tell the truth and lose everything? Or lie through my tits (masculine, so not sexist) and, with legal backup, get away with blue murder?

Human nature exposed. 😂😂

Especially politicians who do not want to be seen in history as a total A-word. 👍

I did it to protect our wildlife, back-to-back gardens. Probably a couple of acres of untouched green space with nature-friendly gardens.

When Harriet, our last hedgehog, died, I put an obituary in The Times.

She had been bitten by a rat, and an eye infection that blinded her wouldn’t clear. She became a house hog with my practice manager for several years.

Rats get released from sewers by development. Their access can be open when building or extending. These rats breed, and all of a sudden, you have a plague that eats everything it can. Not good.

P.S. I expect Denmark, as a NATO member, should attack Greenland if it’s not already covered.

That would stop Trump from invading, as all NATO countries would have to defend it. 😂😂😂😂 Exactly.

Tower cladding got through planning and probably a public inquiry on planning.

The developer’s expert would have been listened to, shame, as not independent.

Then it’s how it is, not how they want it to be seen.

Then standard procedure, and everyone can do it.

At this stage, it’s a working theory after personal experience.

It will all be in the paperwork.

The system got scammed, then lots of innocent people died horribly.

I wonder why it’s being dragged out for so long. 🤔

Child X was just the icing on the cake.

Even I was lost for words at some stages.

Having been involved in the background during recognition and the rigid protocol and procedures, their importance and penalties for non-compliance…

Everyone else seems not so keen to bother.

Hundreds of breaches over 26 years of his life.

Controlled by people who did not know what they were doing, often biased and bigoted professional stances.

Due to staying in budget, not helping the child develop.

Then they cover up mistakes and tie you up for years to get nowhere.

Then the ombudsman says the council acted unlawfully, here, have 50 quid in compensation.

All in the paperwork the mother has, and the government does not want to see it. 🤔 I wonder why?

An A for history epitaph. 😂😂😂😂

No, if you want to sort this mess out, you have to go to the top, the UN.

Looks good, but biros rule. Politics from leading nations stop us from moving forward.

This is not Highlander when the well-being of 7 billion humans and a rare planet full of life is at stake.

History cannot be allowed to repeat itself again. 🤞

Round and round we go.

More people are being diagnosed, but no more support, just look at the budgets. The government can show it is doing something, but it’s not solving the problem.

Kids are still being restrained because they are not diagnosed or don’t have the correct facilities. Kids are still being traumatised and not supported correctly. Even worse, the government is still doing the bare minimum to stop the abuse.

“We have done nothing wrong,” says the government.

No, you have done nothing to resolve these issues and have a duty of care.

How did the NHS allow this to happen when it plays a key role in diagnosis? We know councils, education, and social services did it to save money. 🤔🤔

Who actually has the power to bring this to the right conclusion if the government is hell-bent on minimising the damage and continuing the cover-up to save their own bacon?

As always, far more questions than answers.

Why have I not had first contact? More breaches of protocols and procedures, another good unanswered question.

If the budgets can’t cope now, and thousands of new diagnoses are being made with no new money being put in, the system is only going to fail further. Apparently, Scots are not happy.

My friend, who spent years trying to get a diagnosis, ended up doing a questionnaire and finally received one for her teenage son, only to find that he’s getting no help from the school because they have no budget.

Dear Patient,

Text to a friend:
How do I think this is all going to end?

Probably not well.

If only they had listened back in the day, we would be 12 years more advanced.

No interconnection for the ministries involved still, who tend to look after themselves rather than the greater good.

Take Child X, not properly diagnosed. Put into a mainstream school without assistance because the school had no money in the budget. He had no diagnosis, so in the eyes of the state, he was considered “normal.” Same with social services, no diagnosis meant he was treated as normal again.

No medical help for traumatic stress, ADHD, and spectrum conditions. Just adult drugs causing paranoia and a host of other issues. Bullied by his peers, he sought protection from the dinner ladies because he wasn’t capable of attending class.

The school failed Ofsted, and a new regime took over. He had to toe the line, as the school had to be shipshape for the new head, who was going to “turn it around.”

The child didn’t stand a chance, excluded and traumatised further.

“Poor mother and attention-seeking child,” so the myth began.

When that’s in your file, you get no help. In fact, the council goes out of its way to pay you back. The mother has all the paperwork, as she has chronicled how they have complicated her life.

That’s without the SS overriding the tribunal judge and only paying for a “naughty boy” regime. His placement failed, and he was out on the streets by 17.

He should have been 23 before the judgement ended.

So, to answer your question, the government is clearly self-protective and will try to shuffle it out the back door, blaming lack of money.

They only have staff who tick boxes and toe the party line, just doing the job the way they’re told to. That attitude runs all the way down to the care structure, where they restrain because they are not educated on the correct handling procedure, just a “horrid kid” who should act normally.

But they are not normal, so how can they?

Just being damaged further.

This type of thing is not a one-off. There has been a huge increase in diagnosis in recent times.

All have been autistic from birth.

If you don’t diagnose a problem, you don’t have a problem, so you don’t need expensive facilities, an expensive professional structure, just a half-day course on restraint.

This has all been done to plan, then covered up with red herrings and spin.

Just think how many people would have to be properly trained, a whole mindset shift from “bad mother and attention-seeking child” to “traumatised ADHD/ASD, dyslexic child with a touch of paranoia, depression, and the odd suicidal moment.”

Drugs don’t help the child. They become suppressed and restricted in normal brain development.

(I’m sure in the early days, they put stuff up based on MRIs of children’s brains being smaller when on a drug 🤔).

I’m sorting a top-up letter to the PM, just for the record type thing 😂😂😂.

It will go up when sent.

I expect it has not gone well for the diagnosed-problem, non-diagnosed-spectrum kids. Most of these failed schools will be seen as underfunded for the type of pupils they cater to. Like Child X, they have been excluded and left with nowhere to go so the school can pass its Ofsted 😡.

Dozens of underperforming schools have been forced to wait more than a year to reopen under new management. The Guardian article – Inadequate schools ‘left to fester’ by Tories, says Labour in academies row

Don’t get me started on Starmer. Reverse Brexit by stealth.

Blair took us into the EU without a vote and changed the need for our Parliament, which just rubber-stamped the EU laws.

How about some truth for a change?

With Blair high up in the hierarchy, I expect their coalition will bypass the normal protocols and procedures, eroding our democracy again. Keep the masses occupied with daily trivia, and sneak it all through the back door, again.

Just look at the cover-ups and spin that started with New Labour. The blood started before their time, but they covered it up anyway.

Everything has gone Pete Tong (read Ofcom’s list of banned words recently). Not sure about “tits up,” so Pete Tong works. I’m sure the novelty will soon wear off. If you mean to disrespect someone, you will inevitably be inappropriate. Woke does not cover an insult because someone is an “A-word” or worse ✅.

So, the government hasn’t had to run the country since the EU was doing it for them. Instead, they spent the time covering up, and hogging prime time to hang onto power. Departments are run by degrees in PPE rather than by people with hands-on, useful experience.

How many pages do you want? 🤔

A-word? B? Definitely the C-word. I think D and E are okay, but then there’s the F-word.

“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me.”

Words say more about the user in many cases.

One good bit of news today: Apparently, us Brits are 2% brighter than the Yanks, according to research on IQ tests 😂😂😂.

So, deflect and defer, spin with partial truth and plausible deniability. Add a heavy layer of “woke” so nobody can bite back, and a complaints procedure that will take decades, only to be covered up by the next lot, who lied to get the power of Parliament.

Not good ✅.

When Ukraine lost Crimea, America had been very visual before the elections.

Look what happened in Cuba, a sore point for the Russians. Then, before the invasion, America did not want to get involved, which Putin saw as the green light, same as Saddam back in the day and our illegal war.

Surely the world could do better than political manipulation to advantage another country.

CO2 emissions are off the charts between burning fuel and spent munitions. That’s without considering the huge amounts of dead and wounded.

This all needs to be sorted, and the planet has to speak with one voice.

People of the world need to get along. Those who create hate and the greedy power-mongers are the problem. All countries have them because that’s how it has always been, the rise and fall of civilizations, then repeat.

Definitely time for a change. Still not too late, but time is running short.

War makes money. Big armies cost, so America needs war to balance the books and move forward at the cost of others.

All that war in the Middle East over decades, millions displaced, refugees from Central Europe, and a million who have left Russia alone. Huge financial costs to all EU countries.

America, addicted to coke, has allowed Central and parts of South America to become unsafe due to cartels supplying their habit, causing mayhem and refugees at the Mexican border.

Yeah, you have to hand it to Trump. First, America became fuel-positive and could protect its own market while manipulating other economies. Everyone has to up their military spending to 2% of GDP or more. They can now showcase their armaments, thanks to Putin, and clean up. Even better when interest on sanctioned money can go towards buying more arms.

Waste the Russian economy, take them out of the fuel industry, and blow up their mechanized troops as a promo for the arms industry.

America does not give stuff unless there is payback. It took until the mid-80s, possibly early 1990s, before Thatcher paid off the last of the debt from Lend-Lease.

Just think how much infrastructure has to be rebuilt, over $500 billion worth of damage. All it’s cost them is some mothballed armour and rockets, no deaths, and taking control of the free world.

Another greasy and power-hungry nutter like Putin or the saviour of humanity? All in history, usually doesn’t end well.

This time will be different. 😂😂😂

I have a plan. Well, someone had to.

Probably the rockets approaching expiration are good to use still, deadlines, and would cost to dispose of. Probably getting full retail price.

“Never give a sucker an even break” is more the national description than just a one-off phrase.

Exactly that!

Highlander: There can only be one.

This time it must be the people as the “one” because otherwise, like all civilizations deep through history, the rich and powerful rule. Yet our democracy is based on the people’s vote.

The people are just lied to under the myth of accurate information.

The black hole was probably half and half, Tory mismanagement and Labour clearing disputes over pay at the start of their reign, then having to raise taxes and remove benefits to stay in budget. These will be a constant yearly increase on the budget rather than a one-off debt clearance.

They didn’t say that in their manifesto. 🤔

So they inherited a black hole and then doubled it, creating a bigger hole every year as new overheads. 🤔

What’s the plan? Complex. However, none of it can happen without truth being the cornerstone. No more coverups. If people have been negligent, you need a post-mortem to find what went wrong and update systems. ✅

Ticking a box after covering up must stop, with truth.

It is clear that Europe must stand together. Luckily most migrants stay on their side, and you are seeing the same reactions we’ve been having here since Blair did the damage.

For home security reasons, we need our borders controlled. I see no reason why EU citizens and the UK can’t cross each other’s borders.

In many areas of the EU, people have a different spin on things, like the USA. Maybe the United States of Europe would be more appropriate: self-governance, own laws, based in a solid national network. An executive council rather than a politically biased structure, all working for the good of the people, etc., etc., etc.

Does that help? 😂😂

Well, our GDP as Europe is right up there with the big boys. But whilst Europe remains divided, we can’t see how strong we actually are. Greenland is protected by Europe, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the Vikings who lived there before America was founded.

Let’s hope that Mexico, with their Spanish heritage, leans towards us rather than the USA x3. 💋

It could become contagious, so old Billy Bunter will have sanctioned and tariffed their way to isolation from the rest of the world.

China’s cool, built a sodding Great Wall to keep people out and managed it in the long run. They have no history of colonization (could be wrong). So why would they?

Amazing people, what they have achieved in three decades is nothing short of remarkable. They have been innovators for millennia. The standard of living for the vast majority is catching up to the West. No system is perfect, and things can always improve.

Mind you, Christian America and Jewish Israel have much to answer for, probably going back to financing the War of Independence. 🙈

As for the fundamental side of the equation, did Mohammed have to go to the mountain? 🤔

They say a week can be a long time in politics.

£20 billion black hole to win votes, and apparently, it was only £9.5 billion. Still a huge figure, but probably a lie.

Everything Brooks, Morgan, and co said was a lie at the hacking inquiry, aided and abetted by News Corp, who closed a newspaper and handed out millions in out-of-court settlements. Hiding computers from home with porn on them? Only that bloke did the hacking—nothing to do with us. How many lies do you think have been told to the COVID inquiry?

Well, when you can lie and get away with it, who is going to tell the truth if their neck is on the line?

Musk and Trump having a pop about Starmer and the rape gangs. Don’t forget Saville and the manipulated figures on rape. He may not have been in control of each case, but he was head of the CPS, and it happened on his watch. Needs to give back his knighthood at least.

Then the mammoth in the room—blaming children for their neurological condition, blaming and abusing them and their families to save money.

Can’t wait for next week 😂

Well done Harry. Stuck to his guns and finally got a confession out of the Sun. 

Morgan and Rebecca clearly lied to the inquiry on hacking. Will they face charges or will all the executives be charged with trying to pervert the course of justice? They should be.

No wonder his family relationship suffered with all the hacking that went on. Who could trust anyone. 

Thousands of breaches over 16 years.

I doubt if Sir K is going to respond. He probably feels he has enough on his plate. However, autism, ADHD, dyslexia, etc., are the elephant or mammoth in the room. Add care (or the lack of it), inappropriate education until diagnosed, and then being treated like a subnormal idiot. Restricted diagnosis or outright avoidance for decades has left hundreds of thousands with undiagnosed special needs, just to come in on budget, which was wholly inadequate, saving billions.

The knock-on effect means overfilled jails, wards, and secure facilities overflowing with the wrongly sectioned. No serious education, no backup, or help. A system that judges them as naughty and simply unwilling to do what they are told. All your own fault. You don’t get anything for naughtiness.

The hell families have been through cannot be understated. I’ve seen it firsthand. Child X was hyperactive for 20 hours a day. A single mother with another child (who is doing well), running away from school regularly, bullied regularly. The mother had to work. Respect.

That’s without addiction, no job, no roof over their head, and being incapable of dealing with the correct agencies, who don’t give a toss because it’s one less to waste their valuable time on. Burnt bridges with family who only did what the SS and others told them to do: Don’t reward naughtiness, and if he doesn’t come to school, you will get a hefty fine.

They never stood a chance.

From the child’s point of view: constant fight or flight, burning cortisol and blocking their processing capability. Don’t listen, bla bla bla. Stressed at home for not being allowed to be themselves. Stressed by school staff and peers. The same kids who pick on them after school. Police chasing after them because they ran away from school.

You naughty boy. You would never have done that if you were mine. (Moron.)

 

How much restraining does it take to put a child off school forever? Probably just the once.

Every time you restrain them, it reinforces their distance from others and pushes them further into their shells. They become isolated at home and school, with nowhere to vent or, when they do, it’s seen as bad behaviour. They can’t win.

Remember: spectrum kids work one-on-one only to begin with. They need to be engaged with, and a bond of trust formed. Only then will they start to thrive.

Often, when restrained while freaked out because they feel alone and don’t want to be there anymore but have nowhere to go, it has a hugely traumatic effect, which can last a very long time.

Talk down, engage with them, and slowly get them to communicate. Carers are only taught restraint. Zero tolerance for naughtiness. 😡

Dear Patient,

Text to a friend:
Still no news, as normal.

More breaches of protocols, practices, codes of conduct, and procedure. Same as it has been since my first contact with PM May.

Still waiting for paperwork going back years.

This is not a one-off, as all those who have sought justice when the system goes wrong will tell you.

Cover up, suppress complaints, use the weight of government against the wronged, then just spin and lie whilst dragging it out for as long as possible.

Seems to be the norm, costing the taxpayer billions over the years.

Blair is now Garter. The Privy Council and the inner circle have much to answer for.

Children with developmental problems, whose brains are 90% formed by the age of five, are not being diagnosed until their early to late teens, where the window of opportunity to truly help has long gone.

Many are never diagnosed. Many are sectioned.

Many go down the path of addiction or mental health issues.

Most will have some level of PTSD.

All will have trust issues.

This is huge. Hundreds of thousands, possibly millions, of kids abused and traumatised by a system that needs a diagnosis to act, and yet they’re not being made—just to save money.

Personally, having been involved at this level, I would lock them all up and throw away the key.

Back in 2012, the Surgeon General did not want them diagnosed so they wouldn’t be stigmatised, thinking this would give them a chance to grow out of it.

Clearly, no idea of neural dysfunction.

We had a regulator who was a Major General at the same time—not the type to jump out of a plane, though. Probably needed a lighter pen to help with his RSI. 😂😂

A bit harsh? I don’t think so.

He had the paperwork for tribunal. He had the judges’ judgments. He was told it was all going tits up in a series of open letters.

He blocked me, then removed me from the register of chiropractors.

On appeal, using the same CPD, I was reinstated. It seems he didn’t understand his own paperwork. 😂

Then his mate, the geologist, covered his back when he left the GCC.

Not harsh enough.

My CPD for that year and the previous one is both up on site somewhere, before COVID and my clean air protocols.

Why doesn’t PTSD help autistic kids?

It makes them run on fight and flight, biasing their ability to conform to the norm. If all you want to do is run away with every fibre of your body, it’s not easy to sit quietly in class.

It also causes blocks in processing (lots of areas in the brain are affected in function), often magnifying the developmental problems hindering the child in the first place.

Does that help? 😱

Let’s lighten the topic.

WW3:
My basic research shows our navy has six ships with the ability to destroy nukes (intercontinental ballistic missiles).

Not one is protecting our cities.

It needs to be brought up in the Commons: how prepared are we for nuclear war? Do we have a strategy for low casualties, and are we well protected by air defence systems? 🤔

Let’s say one nuke will destroy London. 🙈

Hopefully, we have fully integrated laser cannons.

I expect, like COVID, there has been no preparation. Who would be silly enough?

Putin. If I can’t have it, neither can you.

Just saying.

Dear Patient,

Text to a friend:
End of a long week. We are still catching up on losing appointments over Christmas and New Year’s. Clean air protocols have kept us healthy from the flu (now I’ve said it—touching wood 🙈).

Been keeping an eye on the news—all red herrings and no true substance.

New inquiry re grooming or not. Covering up child abuse, sending the innocent to jail as with posties, bloods. The towering inferno and cladding still on the walls of countless blocks of flats, etc.

RAF site leaked forever-toxic chemicals into the water table, otters contaminated. Nothing done. Sewage streams—not rivers—leaking tons of nasty stuff into the water table. Clean diesel polluting air and people. Let’s earn some money over it and put nothing back into the health of the nation. Air pollutants come down with the rain, which then pollutes the environment before entering the water table.

Clearly perverting the course of justice in a hugely cynical way, and there seems to be no way of charging them with criminality. 🤔🤔🤔🤔

That’s a bit of a red herring too. The structure is there to do that; MPs have gone to jail for perverting justice. So who has stopped that from happening? 🤔

That would also be seen as a cover-up!

Ah, there’s the problem. They are all involved and have covered arse as well as up.

Text to a friend:
You have to remember the 140% increase since 2015 does not cover those waiting years for diagnosis. Which is why they did not diagnose for decades unless they had to. Just naughty and horrid parents.

Imagine how much money they saved and how much damage was done to countless thousands of kids. They have not got the money to sort the problem out, which started mainly with New Labour, so why would they be in a rush to sort things out?

Dear Patient,

How nice if Musk used his energies positively, by policing X and making sure kids are safe on his site, rather than letting rip and stirring the pot, allowing the government to spin their way out of trouble.

The problem we have is that the system is set up to protect the government. How shocking have the public inquiries been? Yet their findings are rarely acted on, and nobody investigates the cover-up regarding grooming and rape up north. I’m sure it’s national. Nobody protected the kids.

Why? Because those who were covering it up would have been exposed.

I would suggest that criminal investigations should come first. Then the inquiry becomes more of a post-mortem, and changes are made—not just suggested.

Starmer is pontificating on the subject in the press today. Yet CPS was involved. The grooming spread and went on for years. People were arrested and jailed. Yet councils, the SS, police, and others all failed the kids and made it virtually impossible for them to get justice.

Thank God for campaigners and whistleblowers, or the government would have got away with it. So I agree with much that Musk said, but he is hypocritical and politically motivated with his mate Trump, so it’s not really about the kids. 🤔

Agreed, no point having further inquiries as only give recommendations which rarely are put in place. 

What’s needed is an independent investigation for the cover up and then people banged up for perverting justice. ✅

Cover ups, as seen with Child X, exist to protect reputation and budget. So a few years inside would be the perfect karmic solution.

Dear Patient,

Text to a friend:
My last letter to Starmer went up on Christmas Eve. Obviously, he has two weeks to respond, even though he never has previously, breaching codes and protocols.

By my estimation, with the holidays, that will be next week.

Musk has had a good pop about his time at CPs over the grooming of our children and its cover-up. It is obvious they have done the same with those with special needs.

I can’t wait for a response at long last. If he doesn’t, what are our options, as the abuse is ongoing?

How do you get justice when those who are in power are the culprits and just block rather than solve the problems? 🤔🤔

Why isn’t Musk putting his energies into solving America’s grooming problem? 🤔

It’s all a bit worrying. Who massaged their figures? If it were the judiciary there is no hope. 

Most rape cases are won if the culprit admits guilt, which is why so few cases actually get to court. One person’s word against another’s.

So only 1 percent of cases are converted from complaint to a win in court.

No wonder they only go by those that go to court to get their stats. 🤔

If you can’t prove rape beyond reasonable doubt, there should be a civil structure in place and heavy fines.

Date rape 25k etc. Then the no win no fee, boys can go to town.

Dear Patient,

Tends to explain why the system’s inquiries into sexual abuse in children got nowhere, as they are clearly not fit for purpose. Spin it: we have done inquiries, okay. 😡

A summary of IICSA’s final report into child sexual abuse and exploitation in England and Wales, and the government responses to the recommendations made. NSPCC Learning – Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) final report: summary and government response

Not fit for purpose. Education, social services, and the NHS regarding diagnosis are not fit for purpose, and children are still being forced through the grinder.

Handing sexually abused children? At least the government is consistent. 🙈😱

Well, if they don’t give a toss about raped children, why would they worry about mental health from traumatic restraint and labelling as naughty to avoid the expense of diagnosis and a treatment plan—like all other medical conditions? 🤔

The IICSA report in 2022.

Prof. Jay says she is frustrated that none of the 20 recommendations have been acted on.

That seems to be the norm. Look at Baby P under the last Labour government.

“Never will happen again,” and yet it has.

All smoke and mirrors when it’s the government’s fault 👍

All on the BBC today.

The article starts with “Musk should mind his own business, and there was no wrongdoing by the PM when at the CPS.”

Then the truth starts to come out.

Why would the police not prosecute? Because the Privy Council and CPS did not want the bad press, so they covered it up.

Check out IICSA (Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse).

Dear Patient,

Happy New Year everyone.

My quest for justice has gone well. The size of the problem and it’s cover up has been exposed. Diagnosis is taking time because of staff shortages and there are still thousands who have not got to that stage yet. A big step forward. 

The new year should see justice for those who were treated so callously by a system who set a budget and twisted the system so it would fit. 

I can’t thank you enough for your support, it has kept me going. 

I’m resting for a few days before parliament goes back, then we start again. 

If anything worthy comes to my attention before then I will have it put up. ✅
