A mature and thought provoking discussion on a topic that's too important to become an online culture war.
1. There's going to be a lot of talk about over or under diagnosis and the conversation is going to be a mess.
This is because how ADHD and ASD are defined has shifted. An ADHD diagnosis today isn't the same thing as an ADHD diagnosis ten years ago.

Wonder if any schools have noticed an upturn in web traffic from China and Singapore?
In 2024, I had 33 web-visitors from China.
Last week, I had 297.
Maybe it's bots that are training A.I. but I'm curious whether schools/others are seeing similar fishy activity?

The new DfE ‘Technology in Schools Survey: 2024-25’ report has some interesting nuggets.
- More use of assistive technology (nearly doubling in primary)
- Fall in use of tablets for learning in primary (despite there being more devices), etc.

David Cameron recently revealed his successful treatment for prostate cancer.
Not long ago, @sketchplanations.bsky.social made this cool visual to spotlight how much better we can detect it.
