Good morning all, i forgot to pick up cereal for breakfast, so we had to have bacon sandwiches instead, funny enough there weren't any complaints from Ryan, have a great day everyone.

People with #epilepsy deserve expert care; especially if 2+ anti-seizure meds have failed. Reaching out to an accredited Epilepsy Center can provide access to specialists and advanced treatment options. -- Which center is nearest to you? #EpilepsyAwareness

I went to pick Ryan up from his daycentre and was met by a member of staff, ive got to tell you what Ryan said today she said laughing, apparently there was a member of staff singing away to himself, Ryan walked up to him and says "too noisy stop singing", the member of staff asks are you saying my singing is bad? Ryan replies yes. Sometimes he can be a little too honest lol

2nd July 2022. The disabled community of York came together to protest the Blue Badge ban & the proposal to close Castle car park.
A year later we have a new Labour Administration who are getting on with reversing the ban & drawing up a new parking strategy.

I’ve never used the term but I don’t care if people do. Not offensive. I do care about being accused of lying or faking of having seizures though. Just because you can’t see doesn’t mean I’m not having one.

While it seems that "fit" is used more to represent a seizure in the UK than the USA, it might offend people with #epilepsy who live on either sides of the ocean. -- Do you use the word "fit" to represent seizures? #EpilepsyAwareness

DYKT about 30% of people with #epilepsy cannot manage their seizures through meds alone? Neuromodulation, the ketogenic diet, and neurosurgery can sometimes help, but what we really need is a cure. #EpilepsyAwareness

I have amazing sons , my son brady, who turns 21 in a few days . is off to Spain this morning with his mates. He's just about to go into his 3rd year studying law and criminology, when hes not studying, he stacks shelves at the supermarket and sometimes works in local bars too, I think he deserves a break, time to relax before he returns to university in a few weeks.

Epilepsy has many varied causes and anyone can develop it. Epilepsy affects both men and women of all races, ethnic backgrounds, and ages. -- Are people surprised to hear you have #epilepsy? #EpilepsyAwareness
