Very sorry to read that Roger Buckley has died. He was my first consultant at Moorfields, a kind nice doctor who had good communication skills and was compassionate to patients having a hard time. He was a great choice for honorary president.
Also appreciated Martin Griffin's account of autism, as someone with an autistic relative and my own mental illness.
Physical health services can overlook both accommodations or condition impact on neurodiverse patients.
