  1. Keep thinking back to that chance a Old Trafford in the second half. Feet all wrong, zero composure, looked completely bewildered and overawed.
  2. Assumed we were going to steam roller them, had no answers their questions when they had all the answers to ours. I blame anyone who has already booked a flight or hotel in London
  3. In terms of ASD/C numbers jumping it is identification really. Children are being identified much earlier in schools and put on the pathway, rather than just being labelled thick or naughty. Schools get extra money for children with specific SEND diagnosis which the skint councils have to pay for so the councils drag their feet with educational psychologists and resist handing out EHCPs as best as they can because they can't afford it. The system is well and truly goosed. I could moan about this for hours but doesn't seem the thread. Covid seems to have had a huge impact on numbers and actually forcing parents to spend time trying to teach their own kids and realising something isn't right.
  4. Just reading over the findings and recommendations. The below stands out as a common sense. The rationale for early puberty suppression remains unclear, with weak evidence regarding the impact on gender dysphoria, mental or psychosocial health. The effect on cognitive and psychosexual development remains unknown. The use of masculinising / feminising hormones in those under the age of 18 also presents many unknowns, despite their longstanding use in the adult transgender population. The lack of long-term follow-up data on those commencing treatment at an earlier age means we have inadequate information about the range of outcomes for this group. Clinicians are unable to determine with any certainty which children and young people will go on to have an enduring trans identity. For most young people, a medical pathway will not be the best way to manage their gender-related distress. For those young people for whom a medical pathway is clinically indicated, it is not enough to provide this without also addressing wider mental health and/or psychosocially challenging problems. Children/ young people referred to NHS gender services must receive a holistic assessment of their needs to inform an individualised care plan. This should include screening for neurodevelopmental conditions, including autism spectrum disorder, and a mental health assessment. Standard evidence based psychological and psychopharmacological treatment approaches should be used to support the management of the associated distress from gender incongruence and cooccurring conditions, including support for parents/carers and siblings as appropriate. Obviously I've just cherry picked these before anyone accuses me of doing it. Full overviews can be found here. https://cass.independent-review.uk/home/publications/final-report/ This bit stood out as the prime reason people can't have a sensible debate about it though The strengths and weaknesses of the evidence base on the care of children and young people are often misrepresented and overstated, both in scientific publications and societal debate. Meaning that sadly, The controversy surrounding the use of medical treatments has taken focus away from what the individualised care and treatment is intended to achieve for individuals seeking support from NHS gender services.
  5. Made a lovely loaf in my bread machine. Woke up today to find that this was how she cut it.
  6. Won't stop the murderer and victim shouts in the Derby. Visual lip service.
  7. Made up to have been wrong about him. Just didn't see it the first few months. Know he was playing deeper but he looked slow, ponderous on the ball, certainly not like the world cup winner we all watched with excitement. Hes been outstanding since January, gone from strength to strength. Now adding the goals and assists we all wanted to his game. If the 35m quoted as his fee is true then we've made a brilliant signing.
  8. KidD likes a board game but as she gets older is harder to direct her from screens. Ordered Adventures of Robin Hood grim Kosmos for her birthday as saw a few reviews
