NHS England to stop prescribing puberty blockers

10 hours ago

By Josh Parry,

LGBT & Identity Producer

Children will no longer routinely be prescribed puberty blockers at gender identity clinics, NHS England has confirmed.

The decision comes after a review found there was "not enough evidence" they are safe or effective.

Puberty blockers, which pause the physical changes of puberty, will now only be available as part of research.

It comes weeks before an independent review into gender identity services in England is due to be published.

An interim report from the review, published in 2022 by Dr Hilary Cass, had earlier found there were "gaps in evidence" around the drugs and called for a transformation in the model of care for children with gender-related distress.

Dr Cass's review follows a sharp rise in referrals to the Gender Identity Development Service (Gids), run by the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust, which saw an increase from 250 per year to over 5,000 in 2022.

Puberty supressing hormones - more commonly known as puberty blockers - work by suppressing the release of hormones that cause puberty and are often prescribed to children questioning their gender as a way of stopping physical changes such as breast development or facial hair.

Fewer than 100 young people in England are currently prescribed puberty blockers by the NHS. They will all able to continue their treatment.

NHS England held a public consultation on their usage and last year introduced an interim policy which stated they should only be given as part of research trials or in "exceptional circumstances".

The BBC understands that the new policy, confirmed on Tuesday, will not allow them to be prescribed "routinely" outside of a research trial, but that individual clinicians can still apply to have the drugs funded for patients on a case-by-case basis.

Gids is due to close at the end of March. Two new NHS services due in London and Liverpool are set to open at the beginning of April, followed by a number of regional specialist centres over the next two years.

Health Minister Maria Caulfield said: "We have always been clear that children's safety and wellbeing is paramount, so we welcome this landmark decision by the NHS.

"Ending the routine prescription of puberty blockers will help ensure that care is based on evidence, expert clinical opinion and is in the best interests of the child."

The consultation on the future of gender services received more than 4,000 responses, including 10% from trans adults and 5% from clinicians.

John Stewart, national director of specialised commissioning at NHS England, said: "Given that the debate is often very polarised, so too were the responses to the consultation.

"Many people said the policy didn't go far enough in terms of still allowing potential access [to puberty blockers] through research, and others saying clearly they disagreed fundamentally and that these should be routinely available to everyone who believes they need it."

The BBC understands NHS England aims to begin its study into the use of puberty blockers by December 2024, and is yet to decide who can take part

Oh hey, will you look at that.

Oh to be a breeding pony: useful, pleasured and full.

You’re almost never removed from the breeding racks. Your once shiny rubber catsuit is now covered in grime and fluids, growing dirtier after every successive visitor to your booth.

Even underneath the stains, your gear is still very specialised: the suit that you were long ago stuffed into is incredibly thick and you can hardly feel anything through it. What’s more, handles are affixed strategically on your back atop your shoulder blades as well as on your hips; both locations provide a highly suitable location for any cruel owner, bash stallion, or even a mare with one of the many strap-ons to get a good grip while thrusting into you.

Further up your gear, your hood is of a very strange design: unlike the usual equine masks on the elegant ponygirls around the ranch, this one is modelled more after a gas mask. Twin corrugated hoses exit from two fittings on the front, leading down to a rebreather bag that swings loose below you, ready to be crushed or played with by any prospective partner. Further up the mask, tinted lenses leave you in perpetual darkness. However, the main feature of the mask is the large pink flesh-light that resides where the mouth should be. This ensures your kept nice and quiet at all times, while maintaining a nice tight hole for anyone who decides to make use of the front hole.

The back hole has had a similar treatment, for the first few months an inflatable plug was used to keep you filled and stop you from leaking between uses. However, after too many large cocks (and larger dildos), your arse hole became too stretched to be of an use to anyone, so a trainer came round one day and stuck a flesh-light up there. The ejaculations of countless visitors to your booth now run down you thighs, highlighted boldly against your black latex. Now you don’t even get the slight pleasure of being fucked, just the shame and filling sensation of such a large object taking permanent residence in your behind.

Undoubtedly however, your least favourite piece of tack is on your front, the only piece of exposed skin: your tight metal chastity cage. You’ve been in chastity for a long time at this ranch, but becoming a breeding mare meant saying goodbye to your package forever. On the first day, your trainer came to your booth with a small tube of superglue, and insured you would not be distracted from your duties again. Then of course, he inaugurated both your holes, the first of many to use you.

You feel the hard metal frame of the breeding rack underneath your knees and elbows, it is locked firmly to the leather harness that crisscrosses your bound body, holding your head and arse up and ready for use, while ensuring your compliance at all times.

Waking from your sleep-like stupor, you hear the distinctive clopping of the lead stallion’s hoof boots coming towards the barn, an incredibly talented racer and just as well endowed between the thighs. You brace your holes for the post-race party that is sure to begin, centring on your booth.

A little precum spurts from your cage. It will be a good night.

Reworked Group #4: S.P.A.R.R.O.W.S.

Overview

Tequila and Red Eye successfully dismantled a rogue military organisation engaged in illicit human trafficking and arms dealing, which had also planned to launch a global bioterrorist attack in collaboration with the Pipovulaj. The plot involved spreading a plague to control the population, transforming numerous innocent civilians into violent Man Eaters as a means to create a twisted form of super soldier. Impressed by Tequila and Red Eye's exceptional performance as highly capable spies, the Intelligence Agency and the Regular Army jointly established a covert operations branch, S.P.A.R.R.O.W.S., through a mutual agreement.

The S.P.A.R.R.O.W.S. is responsible for gathering intelligence and managing information to prevent public panic and global hysteria. They provide their members with specialised training in high-risk covert operations that surpass the scope of regular Intelligence Agency agents, which are all conducted with utmost discretion and situational awareness. Some of these special covert operation missions involve precision targeting of high-priority threats and strategic disruption of complex criminal schemes.

Insignia

It features a cerulean square Iberian shield, rimmed with a spiky teal vine that’s outlined in bronze. Above the shield, the words "S.P.A.R.R.O.W.S." are inscribed in bluish-white, surmounting a stylized pair of bronze eyes with a yellowish-white star at their centre. The shield is flanked by a stylized peregrine falcon holding a gilded blade on the right side and a male house sparrow clutching an olive branch on the left side.

S.P.A.R.R.O.W.S. Base

The Intelligence Division is tactically positioned adjacent to the Joint Military Police Headquarters, deeply entrenched within a dense and remote forest in Northern Russia. The rectangular military compound features a forest-inspired camouflage colour scheme, a secure warehouse for military vehicles, multiple surveillance cameras, and several elevators leading to a subterranean base. They have a rooftop array of parabolic antennas that enables real-time surveillance, threat detection, and situational awareness, preventing surprise attacks and informing strategic decision-making. The base features comprehensive protection through an advanced security system and a defensive magnetic field, which automatically activates in response to potential threats, safeguarding against enemy attacks.

The subterranean base features a state-of-the-art command and surveillance centre, equipped with cutting-edge technological systems to orchestrate and execute operations. Additional facilities include:

An armoury housing the group’s most cutting-edge, high-clearance weaponry and specialised ordnance.

A high-tech meeting room with a high-resolution, encrypted display screen and multi-axis, AI-enhanced holographic projection system.

A state-of-the-art gymnasium for maintaining elite physical readiness, featuring biometric monitoring systems and AI-driven training programs.

A fully equipped, high-tech medical bay with regenerative treatment capabilities and telemedicine connectivity for remote expert consultation.

A secure dining area serving optimised, nutrient-rich rations for peak performance.

A high-security quarters with biometrically locked storage for personal gear and AI-monitored, secure communication arrays.

A Combat Academy, led by Margaret Southwood, featuring a heavily fortified training area with advanced combat simulation zones, tactical obstacle courses, stealth and surveillance training areas, and high-tech weapons testing ranges.

Extra Information

S.P.A.R.R.O.W.S. stands for Special Pursuit Agents and Rapid Response Operations Worldwide Strikeforce.

Members of the S.P.A.R.R.O.W.S. are commonly known as "Sparrowers" or "Following Falconers", reflecting their affiliation with the unit and their close relationship with the P.F. Squad.

Despite being part of an elite covert operations branch, Sparrowers face a significant pay disparity: males earn a quarter of the average government agent's salary, while females earn about a third. Additionally, underperforming Sparrowers, both male and female, experience further financial hardship due to delayed salary payments, often waiting between one to two months to receive their overdue compensation.

The S.P.A.R.R.O.W.S. conduct their covert operations in collaboration with the Peregrine Falcons Squad who provide primary firepower and protection for their agents.

The handguns carried by Sparrowers are the Murder Model-1915 .38 Mk.1Am or Classic Murder .38 for short. It’s a double-action revolver that features a 6-round cylinder. Originally designed to enhance the Enfield No.2 .38 Caliber revolver in 1915, the Murder Model retained only the frame and grip from the original. All other components were replaced with newer parts in later years.

How can I help my Time Lady roommate track her artron levels? What can be done to raise or lower artron levels?

Ah, glad to hear of her settled on Earth! I hope you and her will find the following information useful:

How to track and manage artron levels?

🔬 Tracking Artron Levels

If your roommate brought with her from Gallifrey a specialised artron/lindos blood tester, she would be able to test her own levels of artron, much like a diabetic finger-prick check. For reference, levels of artron should be between around 9,000-12,000 mcl for an average Time Lord adult and levels outside of this range could indicate an underlying issue.

Otherwise, an indication in the fluctuation of artron levels are very much symptom-indicated:

👩‍🔬 Artron Deficiency (Hypoartronosis)

Symptoms of hypoartronosis could include (but are not limited to):

Impaired Healing: Slower wound healing and increased susceptibility to wound infections, potentially leading to secondary haemophilia (severely reduced ability to clot blood).

Weak Immune Response: More frequent illnesses due to the weakened state of the immune system.

Lack of Energy: Lower levels of artron result in fatigue or sluggishness.

Decreased Senses: Less sharpness in hearing, sight, smell, taste, touch, somatic and chronopsionic (time and psychic).

Low Mood: Low artron can affect emotional state, causing the Gallifreyan to have persistently low moods.

Very Red Blood: Gallifreyan blood has an orange tint to it due to the artron. If it's very, very red, this indicates low artron levels.

Urine Changes: Urine output will decrease and will be more yellow in colour (normal Gallifreyan urine is more orange).

🔋Artron Excess (Hyperartronosis)

Symptoms of hyperartronosis could include (but are not limited to):

Hyperactivity or Irritability: Heightened energy or emotional fluctuations, similar to bipolar disorder.

Delusions or Confusion: Reduced cognitive clarity.

Vomiting or Nausea: Gastrointestinal discomfort.

Increased Appetite: Unusually frequent hunger pangs.

Urine changes: Urine output will increase severely and be extremely orange.

🔄 Normalising Artron Levels

Artron levels will normally stabilise over time due to homeostasis and compensatory mechanisms, though several home remedies can help.

TARDIS Partnership: Forming a bond with a TARDIS will naturally help to maintain good artron levels through constant energy exchange.

TARDIS Support: In addition to a TARDIS connection, spending a few days in a bonded TARDIS can help to normalise levels.

Meditation: Meditation techniques are also considered effective in the treatment of these conditions.

(To Increase Levels) Do Some Time Travel: Absorbing background radiation from the time vortex increases artron and can be an effective and quick solution to hypoartronosis.

(To Decrease Levels) Expelling Energy: Expelling excess energy through the mouth or skin will help to lower levels. However, this should be done in a controlled environment and away from humans.

In some cases, medical intervention could be required:

Artron therapy: There are several medical devices and medications on Gallifrey which are regularly used in the treatment of these conditions.

Assisted healing coma: A healing coma can help to stabilise artron levels. However, this should be done in a safe environment with medical professionals who can assist in the sleep-wake cycle.

Regeneration: In extreme cases, a Gallifreyan medic may suggest a regeneration, as this resets artron back to default levels. However, this should never be done without consultation, as there are usually simpler ways to treat hypo and hyperartronosis.

🏫 So ...

Any excessive or prolonged changes in artron levels should be investigated further as they may be caused by other conditions. If you or your roommate are particularly worried about her artron levels, please encourage returning to Gallifrey for a checkup with a Gallifreyan medical professional as soon as possible, as there is currently no medical centre in the Sol system.

Why Allied Health Is the Backbone of Holistic Healthcare Systems

In today’s rapidly evolving healthcare environment, the concept of holistic care has gained significant prominence. Holistic healthcare focuses on treating the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—rather than just addressing specific symptoms or illnesses. At the centre of this comprehensive approach lies allied health, a vital but often underappreciated sector of the healthcare system. Allied health professionals form the backbone of holistic care, offering a wide range of services that complement traditional medicine and enhance the overall quality of patient outcomes.

What Is Allied Health?

Allied health encompasses a diverse group of healthcare professionals who are not doctors, nurses, or dentists but who work collaboratively with these primary care providers to support patients. This field includes roles such as physiotherapists, occupational therapists, dietitians, speech pathologists, radiographers, and paramedics, among others. These professionals are highly trained in their respective disciplines and focus on prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation, ensuring that patients receive well-rounded care.

The Role of Allied Health in Holistic Healthcare

Holistic healthcare requires a multidisciplinary approach, and allied health professionals are uniquely equipped to address the diverse needs of patients. Their specialised expertise contributes to physical, emotional, and social well-being, ensuring that no aspect of a patient's health is overlooked.

1. Addressing Physical Health Needs Allied health professionals play a critical role in improving physical health. Physiotherapists and occupational therapists help patients recover from injuries, manage chronic pain, and regain mobility. These services are not just about fixing a problem but also about empowering patients to take charge of their health through exercise, education, and preventive strategies.

2. Supporting Mental and Emotional Well-being Holistic care also prioritises mental health, recognising the connection between emotional well-being and physical health. Speech pathologists and audiologists, for example, help individuals with communication disorders regain confidence and improve their quality of life. Similarly, social workers and counsellors assist patients in navigating emotional challenges, fostering resilience and stability.

3. Promoting Nutritional Health Dietitians are another key component of allied health, offering tailored nutrition plans that address a variety of health concerns, from weight management to chronic conditions like diabetes and heart disease. By focusing on dietary habits, these professionals empower patients to make sustainable lifestyle changes that support long-term well-being.

4. Bridging Gaps in Healthcare Access Allied health professionals often work in community settings, ensuring that healthcare services are accessible to all, including underserved populations. Paramedics, for instance, provide critical care during emergencies, while community health workers deliver education and preventive care in remote areas. This accessibility is a cornerstone of holistic care, as it ensures that every individual has the opportunity to achieve optimal health.

The Collaborative Nature of Allied Health

One of the defining features of allied health is its collaborative approach. These professionals work alongside doctors, nurses, and other healthcare providers to create a unified care plan tailored to the patient’s unique needs. For example, a patient recovering from a stroke may require input from a physiotherapist, speech pathologist, dietitian, and social worker, all working together to support their recovery journey.

This interdisciplinary teamwork not only improves patient outcomes but also enhances the efficiency of the healthcare system. By addressing various aspects of health simultaneously, allied health professionals help reduce hospital readmissions, shorten recovery times, and minimise healthcare costs.

Allied Health and Preventive Care

Preventive care is a cornerstone of holistic healthcare, and allied health professionals are at the forefront of this movement. Through education, screenings, and early interventions, they help patients identify and manage risk factors before they develop into serious conditions.

For example:

Physiotherapists educate patients on posture and ergonomics to prevent musculoskeletal issues.

Dietitians provide nutritional counselling to combat obesity and related diseases.

Speech pathologists offer early interventions for children with developmental delays, setting them up for success later in life.

By focusing on prevention, allied health professionals not only improve individual health outcomes but also contribute to the long-term sustainability of the healthcare system.

Challenges Faced by Allied Health Professionals

Despite their critical role, allied health professionals often face challenges, including limited recognition and funding. Many people are unaware of the full scope of services offered by allied health, leading to underutilisation of these resources. Additionally, workforce shortages in certain disciplines can strain healthcare systems and limit access to care.

Addressing these challenges requires increased investment in allied health education, public awareness campaigns, and policies that prioritise integrated care models. By supporting the growth and development of this sector, healthcare systems can fully harness the potential of allied health professionals to deliver holistic care.

The Future of Allied Health in Holistic Healthcare

As healthcare continues to evolve, the demand for holistic and patient-centred care will only grow. Allied health professionals are poised to play an even greater role in meeting this demand, thanks to their ability to adapt to new technologies, research advancements, and changing patient needs.

For example, telehealth has expanded the reach of allied health services, allowing professionals to provide care remotely and bridge gaps in access. Similarly, advancements in rehabilitation technology, such as virtual reality and robotic devices, are revolutionising the way allied health professionals deliver care.

Conclusion

Allied health professionals are the backbone of holistic healthcare systems, offering a wide range of services that address the physical, emotional, and social dimensions of health. Their collaborative approach and emphasis on prevention make them indispensable in creating a more inclusive, patient-centred healthcare model.

As society increasingly recognises the importance of holistic care, the role of allied health will continue to expand, transforming the way we approach health and well-being. By supporting and investing in this vital sector, we can ensure that healthcare systems are equipped to meet the diverse needs of individuals and communities alike.

NICE previously completed an evidence review on this subject in 2020 which included nine observational studies. The quality of evidence for the identified critical outcomes for decision making – gender dysphoria, mental health – was assessed at the time as very low certainty. There was no statistically significant difference in measurements compared with baseline. No evidence was found for quality of life. The quality of evidence reported for important outcomes was also assessed as very low certainty. Surveillance of published literature, using the original PICO and bibliographic search strategies, has been undertaken to identify any relevant studies published since the NICE 2020 review. This assessment was presented to Panel members.

https://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/evidence-review-gnrh-analogues-october-2020.pdf

The results of the studies that reported impact on the critical outcomes of gender dysphoria and mental health (depression, anger and anxiety), and the important outcomes of body image and psychosocial impact (global and psychosocial functioning), in children and adolescents with gender dysphoria are of very low certainty using modified GRADE. They suggest little change with GnRH analogues from baseline to follow-up.

Studies that found differences in outcomes could represent changes that are either of questionable clinical value, or the studies themselves are not reliable and changes could be due to confounding, bias or chance. It is plausible, however, that a lack of difference in scores from baseline to follow-up is the effect of GnRH analogues in children and adolescents with gender dysphoria, in whom the development of secondary sexual characteristics might be expected to be associated with an increased impact on gender dysphoria, depression, anxiety, anger and distress over time without treatment. The study by de Vries et al. 2011 reported statistically significant reductions in the Child Behaviour Checklist (CBCL) and Youth Self-Report (YSR) scores from baseline to follow up, which include measures of distress. As the aim of GnRH analogues is to reduce distress caused by the development of secondary sexual characteristics, this may be an important finding. However, as the studies all lack appropriate controls who were not receiving GnRH analogues, any positive changes could be a regression to mean.

The results of the studies that reported bone density outcomes suggest that GnRH analogues may reduce the expected increase in bone density (which is expected during puberty). However, as the studies themselves are not reliable, the results could be due to confounding, bias or chance. While controlled trials may not be possible, comparative studies are needed to understand this association and whether the effects of GnRH analogues on bone density are seen after they are stopped. All the studies that reported safety outcomes provided very low certainty evidence.

==

I just want to pull out a note from the evidence review. Towards the end of the document, they detail all the studies that were excluded and the reason why. For example, one study was excluded because it only included adults, and the review was looking for safety and efficacy when applied to minors during puberty.

A study from known fraud Jack Turban was itemized. The reason it was excluded? "Intervention - data for GnRH analogues not reported separately from other interventions"

That is, they claimed an improvement but didn't bother to figure out what caused the improvement, as study subjects received multiple interventions (treatments) including therapy. Gender cultists all over Twitter, especially Eric "Erin" Reed, cite this study in support of blockers despite the fact it can't conclude what it claims to conclude. Classic fraudulent Jack.

Surgical Options in Cancer Treatment: Procedures and Recovery

Cancer surgery is a common and effective way to treat many types of cancer and the specialist who does these surgeries is a Surgical Oncologist.

Surgery involves removal of tumor and some surrounding healthy tissue to prevent the cancer from spreading or coming back. Surgery can also help diagnose, stage the type of cancer and will help in suggesting further treatment if needed based on staging of cancer (tumor, node, metastasis) and relieving symptoms of cancer.

Biopsy of the surgical specimen will be sent to Pathology and Depending on the report Oncologist may suggest further treatment.

Surgery will determine the following:

If you have cancer

Where the cancer is located

If it has spread or is affecting other organs in the body

Surgery can be performed in a doctor's office, clinic, surgery centre, or hospital. Where you go depends on the type of surgery and how much time you need to heal. Your surgery may require medication to block the awareness of pain, called anaesthesia. There are different types of anaesthesia depending on the type and extent of the surgery.

Types of Surgery

There are different types of surgery for cancer treatment, depending on the type, location, and stage of the cancer, as well as the patient’s preferences and overall health. Some of the most common types of surgery are:

Open surgery: This is the traditional type of surgery that uses a scalpel to make a large incision in the skin and access the tumour. Open surgery can remove large or deep tumours, but it may also cause more pain, scarring, and longer recovery time.

Minimally invasive surgery: This is a type of surgery that uses small instruments and tiny incisions to remove the tumour. Minimally invasive surgery can include laparoscopic surgery (using a thin tube with a light and camera) or robotic surgery (using a computer-controlled device). Minimally invasive surgery can reduce pain, bleeding, infection, and recovery time, but it may not be suitable for all types of tumours.

Specialised surgery: This is a type of surgery that uses special techniques or devices to destroy or remove cancer cells. Specialised surgery can include cryosurgery (using extreme cold), electrosurgery (using electric current), laser surgery (using light beams), or Mohs surgery (removing thin layers of skin cancer). Specialised surgery can be more precise, less invasive, or more effective for certain types of cancers.

Recovery from Surgery

The recovery from surgery depends on many factors, such as the type and extent of the surgery, the patient’s age and health status, and the possible complications or side effects. Some common aspects of recovery are:

Pain management: The patient may experience pain or discomfort after the surgery, which can be relieved by medication, ice packs, relaxation techniques, or other methods.

Wound care: The patient may need to keep the surgical site clean and dry, change dressings, apply ointment, or avoid certain activities to prevent infection or bleeding.

Physical therapy: The patient may need to do exercises or stretches to improve mobility, strength, or range of motion after the surgery. Physical therapy can also help prevent blood clots, swelling, or lymphedema (fluid buildup).

Follow-up care: The patient may need to have regular check-ups with the surgeon or oncologist to monitor the healing process, remove stitches or drains, test for signs of cancer recurrence, or adjust the treatment plan.

Surgery is an important option for many people with cancer. It can help cure, control, or improve the quality of life for patients with different types of cancers. However, surgery also has some risks and limitations that need to be discussed with the doctor before making a decision.

Salisbury Autistic Care - How Housing Options Impact Quality of Life?

Empowering Autistic Individuals

Did you know that one in every 100 individuals is on the autistic spectrum and there are around 700,000 autistic adults and children in the UK?

While most of the time focus is on early diagnosis and treatment, individuals on the autistic spectrum face many challenges in their day-to-day lives. This is because we are not sensitive to their needs, and our social spaces are not designed to factor in the challenges they face. That is the reason why specialised homes for autist people become all the more important. It provides them with a safe space to relax and be at ease.

In this blog, we delve into this topic further and also learn how Salisbury Autistic Care: A Sanctuary of Support for People on the Autism Spectrum is working towards making autism-friendly homes.

Importance of the Right Housing Environment

As is true with most people, the housing environment affects an individual’s ability to thrive and lead a fulfilling life. Autistic people need to have spaces where there is no sensory overload. Be it in terms of bright colours, light, or loud noises. They thrive in spaces where there is minimum exposure to stimuli. Therefore, creating homes with muted colours, natural lighting, and sound insulation enables them to feel comfortable and at ease.

Support Services

Adults with autism may require ongoing support with their daily activities. Therefore, housing arrangements where they can find support but still have their own independence is the need of the hour. In addition to this, ensuring access to behavioural therapy, life skills training, and other services helps them cope better and gradually build self-confidence.

Inclusive Community Living

Although people with autism do not like sensory overload, meeting with new people and developing strong bonds within the community helps them thrive. It also helps reduce the stigma associated with autistic people and promotes inclusivity and understanding. Inclusive community living arrangements, such as group homes or intentional communities, offer opportunities for social interaction, support, and belonging. By fostering a sense of community and connection, these housing options can combat feelings of isolation and promote social integration for individuals with autism.

Person-centred planning

Person-centred planning prioritizes the autonomy and agency of individuals with autism by involving them, their families, and support teams in decision-making processes. This collaborative effort results in tailored plans that address the individual's unique strengths, challenges, and aspirations.

Salisbury Autistic Care

Salisbury Autistic Care - Empowering Families: The Impact of Autism Care in Salisbury. We are not just providing housing – we are nurturing spaces where individuals on the autism spectrum can truly feel at home. Through our thoughtfully curated properties, we create safe, supportive, and comfortable environments where residents can thrive. From incorporating sensory-friendly features to offering personalized support services, we prioritize the well-being and happiness of our tenants above all else. With a commitment to understanding the specific requirements of each individual, we strive to foster inclusive communities where everyone can flourish and lead fulfilling lives.

New Scientist: Racial and ethnic disparities undermine dementia care in the US

In the US, people of colour receive worse treatment than white people at every stage of dementia care, from diagnosis to end-of-life treatment, according to an analysis of dozens of studies.

Dementia-causing conditions, such as Alzheimer’s disease, are one of the leading causes of death in the US, and older Black people in the US are twice as likely to be impacted as whites. As people in the US live longer, with the risk of dementia roughly doubling every five years they age, more people of colour than ever will be living with dementia and cognitive impairment.

“Access to good-quality care for people living with dementia is essential to achieve equity,” says Ladson Hinton at the University of California, Davis.

Hinton and his colleagues reviewed 71 studies published over the past two decades to gain a clearer picture of how racial and ethnic disparities impact dementia care. The team found key differences in diagnosis, medication use and end-of-life treatment.

Every study that analysed diagnosis showed lagging diagnosis times for Black and Hispanic people with dementia. A recent comprehensive study revealed that the waiting time was 11 per cent longer for Black people and 40 per cent longer for Hispanics compared with white people.

“If there is a delay in diagnosis, that means that there’s going to be a delay in treatment,” says Joyce Balls-Berry at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. “That impacts one’s ability to have a good quality of life.”

Studies also found lower prescription rates of anti-dementia medication for Black and Hispanic people. Black people in the US were also less likely to receive care at long-term facilities or hospices specialising in dementia treatment. Perhaps as a result of delayed treatment, many studies reported increased US hospital admission rates and longer stays for Black people with dementia.

“The higher rates of hospital admission and longer length of stay are really not desirable,” says Hinton. The analysis confirms the concerning ethnic and racial inequities in dementia care, but many questions are still unanswered, he adds.

The review found limited data on Asian Americans, Pacific Islanders and Native Americans with dementia, so it remains unclear how these groups are impacted. Hinton says future research in the field must include people of all racial and ethnic backgrounds.

The root cause of these inequities also remains unproven. Balls-Berry believes access to specialists, proximity to high-quality medical centres, lack of insurance, language barriers and cultural differences could all be contributors, but more research is needed to confirm these connections.

Ladson and Balls-Berry both hope this data spurs changes in clinical practice and policy to close the gaps in dementia care. “Some of these systems were not created for patients of colour,” says Balls-Berry.

My treatment team has pretty much given up on treating my PTSD and wants to refer me out to a specialist centre to get reassessed for autism (I was diagnosed almost 10 years ago but not by an autism specialist, and the diagnosis is no longer in my file).

It’s reminding me just how little I relate to the high masking, late diagnosed, high functioning people who lead the online conversation about autism and what a privilege professional diagnosis is. My first diagnosis did not feel like a privilege, it felt like a condemnation. I ceased to be a human being capable of experiencing emotions and became nothing but an autist experiencing symptoms of autism.

I’m probably going to agree to it just because I’m out of options at this point. But I have 0 desire to sit in front of someone who’s going to analyse every minute detail about what’s wrong with my tone of voice and my body language and my facial expressions and the way I dress and think and god knows what else. I don’t want to end up in the endless loop where autism specialists can only help me with the autism and none of my other conditions can be treated by other people, because I’m autistic and they don’t specialise in autism. I want to stay a human being in other people’s eyes. I want to retain the right to explain my thoughts and feelings and experiences in a way that makes sense to them (which I have always been capable of) instead of being reduced down to a label that immediately triggers a sense of “too complicated to deal with”.

Could I get Fusion Dance for the unusual writers asks? I’d love to read either a Hogwarts AU of When Stars Ignite OR a Rockstar AU of the Balance Series…

Okay, serious times now. Could I get a time stamp for WSI - What’s Ev doing at the end of the story after he went AWOL?

And if you could do me a BTS reblog in your own time for one of your short stories, I’d love that 💛

A Rockstar AU of the Balance Series? I can't imagine what that would look like...

(The BTS will follow as a separate post to not make this too long if you don't mind.)

Now, let's talk about our favourite Rockstar scumbag.

A/N: This answer takes us into spoiler territory for my Icarus-series, which is still in the works. So if you prefer not to know anything about it, do stop here.

So, when we left Ev (or rather, when he left us) in WSI, he was not in a very good place, and the downward spiral - of which we saw the early stages during WSI - only continued from there.

There was a lot of rage in him and a lot of bitterness at (how he thought) the unfairness of the situation. If asked, he probably couldn't tell you much about that period of his life looking back, but when his life came crashing down around him after the events of the WSI final, Ev thankfully realised that things had to change drastically.

He found help in a rehab centre specialising in people standing in the spotlight and was thankfully able to complete his treatment. Having lots of time to think during that time, he returned to the world of music after a while with a reformed character and some pretty good songs to tell his story.
