In the UK, yes.
Here in the Balkans adult diagnoses only started 4 years ago in one country. The others still don’t have it.

That is why we hope this doesn’t stick and stops spilling over to less developed countries.

We Lost Ursula K. Le Guin When We Needed Her Most Her novels and stories spoke with the breath of her politics, a graceful and humanist blend of lyrical environmentalism, feminism, and anticapitalism.

There is a knottiness to our forests that takes root in the imagination.

Kad god mi je teško, čitam Uruslu, čitam o Ursuli i pronađem companionship.

Ursula thought of herself as the most “arboreal” of the science fiction writers, writing that “we all have forests in our minds.

Forests unexplained,
unending.
Each of us gets lost in the forest,
every night, alone.” 🖤

A text that reads
Women
by Alice Walker

They were women then
My mama's generation
Husky of voice - stout of
Step
With fists as well as
Hands
How they battered down
Doors
And ironed
Starched white
Shirts
How they led
Armies
Headragged generals
Across mined
Fields
Booby-trapped
Ditches
To discover books
Desks
A place for us
How they knew what
we
Must know
Without knowing a page
Of it
Themselves.

Text that reads in Croatian 
Omotati ramena nečijim rukama?
Odmoriti težinu bivanja na nečijim ramenima?
Premrežiti um nitima razumijevanja?
Prostore duše smijehom prihvaćanja?
Zamisli samo!

I was invited to Bluesky largely because of the information I have provided on treating #SensoryOverload, a debilitating medical condition that affects a variety of people, the best-known being autistic.

Blanket statements like this are dangerous in a globally connected world, and can also be culturally insensitive. They do not reflect our global reality.
Until recently and in some Balkan areas still autistic children she describes get their autism diagnoses later in childhood.

Hand holding a 0.5 L bottle of Jägermeister Manifest herbal liqueur. The amber glass bottle shows the Jägermeister stag logo at the top and large white text reading “MANIFEST.” Below, smaller text reads: “The things we dare to do. The rules we rewrite. The offbeat spirit we embrace. The truth we stand for. The taste we savour.” The label also states “5 extra intense macerates, double barrel matured, herbal liqueur, 38% alc/vol.” Other Jägermeister bottles are visible blurred in the background on a store shelf.

Psychologist: Time for schools to address test anxiety

Research estimates that between 40% and 60% of students experience moderate to severe test anxiety, creating a gap between classroom performance and high-stakes exam results that can skew district data and mask students’ true abilities.
Clinical psychologist Tram Huynh says that districts should move beyond basic relaxation techniques and integrate performance-based self-regulation tools into existing multi-tiered support systems to ensure assessments measure knowledge rather than stress responses.

Remember -- it's always the kids who need to be fixed, not the structure (in this case, the tests) that should be questioned.

Prva stvar koju sam naučila iz psihologije je da je moje okruženje, moja odgovornost.

Ja sam the bossica svoje učionice.

A ponašanja koja su uvjetovana biološkim razvojim karakteristikama aka pred i pubertetom, ispitivanjem granica, daj me ne zezaj da ću nakon svakog sata javljati roditeljima.
