Hi @Waterstones - I've just noticed your disability section of your website comes under 'coping with personal problems' which is a bit icky. Disability is neither personal nor, indeed, a problem

Happy to announce that @SaferSphere is now the first official corporate partner for the @PDASociety and will be working with them to raise funds over the coming year. We are all as excited as you @edarcherthinks and can’t wait to get started!
What I know of this team already has me so excited about working with them this year.
Thanks @SaferSphere here's to a year of having loads of fun & changing lives for PDA people!
17 years in London. First (& please god last) time I've seen a guy filing his dead foot skin on the tube.
I held my breath until the next station but I'm going to have breathed some of that in aren't I? Any idea how one disinfects one's lungs?

Went to do a job in Baildon this morning, and turned into one truly emotional roller coaster
Pulls up, bloke about 70 greets us, I look and think I recognise you, he speaks and I know the voice, but just can't place it at all
He wants observatory he is building waterproofed 1/?
I've sent out 25 thank you messages today and as a result feel very, very happy.
It's lovely to be able to thank someone when they do something nice isn't it?
Lovely stuff.
Ok we've trimmed out empties and 372 of you have finished the survey.
Please if you are a #PDA person or love one complete the survey & share it with others. Good data helps us help. We can't do this without you!

Families tell us they value the information and experiences shared by the #PDA community - so we're sharing #CommunityQuestions where we've been asked to ask you.
Today parents/ carers of a PDA person with a younger sibling - how did you prepare? What worked for you?
Calling #TeamPDA! A parent has contacted us who is expecting a new baby and wants to support their #PDA child to be ready for the changes this will bring. Have you experienced this either as a PDA person yourself or as a parent or carer? What did you try? What worked for you?

Oh my gosh. TRAGEDY. HEARTBREAK.
Some of the people who've gone through the surveys ethics sign off then haven't completed the survey. Over the next couple of days we'll have to delete empty entries
The number is supposed to go up not down!
348!! Be warned I'm keeping up the tally until we reach a thousand....

We ask if there is anything we haven't asked that you want to tell us.
And for feedback on our organisation.
Free text boxes which again are skippable if you want
Then
Press done.
And you've done your bit for gathering evidence about PDA.
Hopefully the breakdown is helpful?
