This week is #AutismAwarenessWeek - it’s an opportunity to increase understanding and to make the case for equal treatment of autistic people.
A really enjoyable event which I’m pleased to say I attended. A brilliant representation of the cast through all The Bill’s numerous epochs. And a great opp to raise money for an important cause. Well done Lisa Maxwell 😊👌

Good therapy is key. Outside of therapy, support groups have made all the difference for me in undermining #OCD as the liar it is #mewithocd #ocdsupport #ocdawareness
