Elections can be overwhelming 😣 Here, we give you a step by step guide to how to engage with the huge amounts of information, promises and yes - spin - we’re all being exposed to during the campaign.

Kicking off a series of articles on masking with Laura Hull talking about what we know and don't know about the topic and two really powerful stories of masking - one from a young refugee and one from regular contributor Rebecca Dempsey #autism #masking themoment.blog/the-eyes-dont-…

Autistic masking - what we know and don't know from a research perspective... a great piece from Laura Hull themoment.blog/maskingresearc…

Why is it that nearly every article that gets written about ADHD has to include a version of this ludicrous line “others have claimed that ADHD has become a fad”. Shockingly there’s never anyone quoted who says this. What kind of journalism is this?

Is there a word for the feeling one has when they return from holiday to see this Susie Dent?

Hmmm, scoping work underway. This is the response I received to a request for our health minister to meet with a group of regular people who were impacted by the lack of ADHD services in Northern Ireland. Not an offer of anyone else in the office. Scoping indeed.

Getting ready for Belfast Pride today, more than 100 Ulster Bank Northern Ireland colleagues will be taking part in this year’s parade. This is the closest I’ll get to wearing the Henry suit.

Fun day next Saturday by some lovely people. eventbrite.co.uk/e/creative-fam…

Today’s photo memory is from 3 years ago today - celebrating ⁦AwakenHub⁩’s very first funding (thank you ⁦Ulster Bank Northern Ireland⁩ & John Ferris 🙏) & emerging from #COVID - I love how ⁦Clare McGee⁩ & I are on brand in our black & yellow 🖤💛 (⁦John Ferris⁩)

Wow, was that three years ago? I’ve been searching for on brand trainers ever since…

I had the pleasure of being interviewed by John Ferris for John Ferris where he discusses his neurodivergence, and interviews folk who are autistic/ADHD. We discuss my autism and OCD, plus why I think being autistic is why I’m a comedian ⬇️ #Autism themoment.blog/emermaguire/

Amazing to have you in the building and your continued support!
