Remember Streeting's review into whether young people are being overdiagnosed with ADHD, autism, and mental health issues? Well, the interim report is out, and there's a reason the media are silent on it (spoiler: it proves what a lot of us have been saying all along)

In others, notably ADHD and autism, rising diagnoses and referrals appear to exceed changes in underlying epidemiological prevalence and are likely to reflect a combination of: improved recognition changing help-seeking behaviour institutional incentives pressures within existing service pathways Across both ADHD and autism, best currently available population-based estimates remain relatively stable, while administrative diagnoses, self-identification and recorded service demand have increased substantially. In autism, the evidence also points to particularly rapid growth in identified need within educational systems, including increasing identification among girls and among young people without learning disability.These patterns suggest that rising demand is not simply the result of increasing prevalence, but of several processes operating simultaneously, including: real increases in distress in some groups improved recognition of previously unmet need changing expectations about support systems that frequently rely on formal diagnosis as the primary route to assistance Across the system, support is too often accessed through pathways that are slow, fragmented and heavily dependent on diagnostic categorisation. While diagnosis remains essential for some forms of clinical decision-making, the evidence suggests that current arrangements do not always provide the most effective or efficient way of identifying and responding to need. In particular, where access to support depends heavily on formal diagnosis, demand for diagnostic assessment can increase more rapidly than systems are able to respond, generating long waiting times, duplication of assessment and pressure on specialist services. The next phase of the review will therefore focus on clarifying the relationship between distress, diagnosis and need, and on examining how systems might respond more effectively to these patterns. A central objective will be to identify opportunities for developing more coherent, evidence-informed care pathways that enable support to be provided earlier and more proportionately, while ensuring that specialist services are available in a timely and appropriate manner for those whose needs are most complex.

Remember how Disney secretly created Touchstone Pictures so they could make PG-13 movies? The payment processors can just as "secretly" spin off a wholesome brand (PurityCard?) for uptight Bible Belters unafraid to pay 29.99% interest on their new credit cards just to stick it to the Libs. :-)

I didn't sleep much last night and cheesehound woke me up early so I'm trying to take it easy again today. Got some comic reading to catch up on, now that I have hit a grindy bit on Kill It With Fire 2. Gonna read Killtopia: Phantoms and I might get started on the absolute epic that is One Piece.

Friends and network - are there any comic book clubs or owt like that happening in Leeds (ideally city centre)? My comics reading rate has become abysmal and I need the social pressure to read outside my comfort zone.

Another TBubz down and I am utterly wiped! It was so good to catch up with you all again, and to meet new friends. I have so many ideas for next year, if I get in~ (including the willingness to go before a bunch of comic hopefuls and go "you can't make comics if you hurt yourself trying")

Eeeks, is it Thought Bubble weekend already?! I am just about done packing =.=;; no doubt I'll forget something Work has been really busy these last two weeks, but the migraines are under control, so that's something :) And for once I don't have to haul a suitcase of merch on buses and trains :D

Taking pre-orders for something I would love to have available for Thought Bubble - although I realise this makes absolutely no sense to anyone outside of a specific Twitch channel - but maybe you like cursed stickers and sexy trout legs: feff.works/product/star...

Photobucket’s collapse is a master class of brand failure. Come take a walk with me on why a once popular web storage website is on death’s door.

I was supposed to be taking a break today but instead I practiced some Finnish and rigged and coloured the Blobbie Tuber. I guess I could try to do nothing tonight...
