My first ever academic paper has been published! Led by Lizzie Smith, we found that LGBTIQ people with intellectual disability were more vulnerable to prejudice because of their reliance on disability services that were unwilling to meet their needs

PROBLEM SOLVED 😄👍👊
I cannot say a big enough THANK YOU to @drgavinmiller who saved the day on this. He took time to write to me with clear and helpful guidance.
I also want to say thank you to everyone on here who tried to put me in touch with help.
Social Media can be a toxic place…but also a space of kindness and comradeship. Today I’m celebrating the latter!
We are back! Relieved & joyful that X has unlocked this account after a debacle over our date of birth (it thought the journal was a toddler, aged 3)!
Please join us in saying an enormous thank you to @drgavinmiller who reached out at our time of despair & helped us to sort this
