Once again marginalised folk (including neurodivergent individuals) are much more likely to be impacted by layoffs and the shifting tides of the industry. We need to be doing more to support each other and eradicate these forms of bias in our industry🟠

Ok, one last, important Baldur's Gate 3 interview with @pcgamer...
I opened up about subjects close to my heart: authenticity and how I've learned to weaponise my ADHD. 💜

Loved the @ADHDinGames meetup by "Playing Attention"! 🎮
I don't talk about it much, but I'm diagnosed with ADHD. Over many years, I've discovered the learning techniques that work best for me in the context of tech/game dev. Maybe I should give a talk sharing those techniques!

To celebrate Game Republic's 20th Anniversary, we are featuring people making a positive impact in the region and the games industry. We're kicking off with Adam Clewes-Boyne @BetaJesterltd #GR20 - Read full interview here >> gamerepublic.net/profiles/ad… #IndieGameDev @ADHDinGames
We need more MPs to stand up for #neurodivergent and #ADHD people to showcase that, not only is this kind of contextless and baseless journalism lacking in any integrity, it is actively dangerous for the ND community!
This right here, this is the danger, a totally preventable and avoidable real conseqeunce of @BBCPanorama's lack of journalistic integrity when it came to this episode. It will literally damage the lives of hundreds of people, and you couldn't be bothered to do basic research
This is extremely important. This one episode stands to set back the battles of #ADHD and #Neurodivergent by years, we cannot let that happen!
#ADHD and #Panorama in the news today, in prep for an expose of private ADHD clinics offering short cuts. There are useful lessons to be drawn here but also a note of concern. The scandal is underfunded NHS, not overdiagnosis of ADHD.

I will write up a more coherent breakdown later, but for now 3 minutes into the @BBCPanorama #ADHD documentary and have already heard SO MANY ISSUES with how this is being handled that I feel compelled to note these issues as I go along, so please join me:
My genuine concern now is how many undiagnosed or self-diagnosed people who haven't found the #ADHD community yet will watch that show and choose to take their chances with a multi-year NHS wait time, filled with GP's and Psychiatrists just as bias as anyone we saw here today
I will write a concise summary later, but in the meantime I truly hope they put out an apology. However, they will only do that if they are forced to confront this deplorable episode of television directly. You can make a complaint here: bbc.co.uk/contact/complaints… #ADHD #panorama
