Sarah's recommended reading list:


Top 5 books for disability, law and awareness:


1. Fake Law : The Truth About Justice in an Age of Lies - The Secret Barrister.


How our system decides who can live and who can die and how it actually works against us and was never implemented to protect us.


2. Disability Rights Handbook: Disability Rights Handbook Edition 48 April 2023 - April 2024.


The modern day up to date rights for all disabled people.


3. Helping you to identify and understand Autism Masking - Emma Kendell.


A great insight into autism and how well some individuals, especially females, mask it.


4. The complex PTSD treatment manual - Arielle Schwartz, PHD.


For a psychiatrist but equally as valuable to any reader, this book explores detailed ways on how to overcome traumatic experiences.


5. Confessions of a G.P - Dr Benjamin Daniels.


This one is more about the lack of education with Drs and how dismissive they are of people they believe are psychosomatic or emotionally linked to pain. He minimises the seriousness of fibromyalgia in chapter 'tough life syndrome'.


He could have sent her for further testing and to check her inflammation markers via a rheumatologist, and he barely grasps that the correlation isn't between trauma but more so between individuals on the autistic spectrum who are more prone to traumatic experiences.


Hope this helps!


Let me know what you think about all of these if you read them!

Newton Press  Newton Aycliffe Review By Sarah “Lovehearts” Local Guide·10 reviews·11 photos ⭐ One star: UPDATE: BECAUSE I WON'T TOLERATE NASTY SARCASM AND ABUSE I'M NOW BLACKLISTED FROM AYCLIFFE RADIO AND AROUND TOWN RADIO WITH PHILLIP HAWKINS AND ANDREW HILL. Cheers 😔 see: https://pgpandspd.blogspot.com/2024/06/hacked-stickers-betrayal-and-pride.html I got off the phone to Paul Howarth yesterday, whilst I'm with my son in public in a cafe, the ADM meet didn't go ahead, but we stayed anyway and my son encouraged me to merely enquire about the article and why my image was not printed, Paul stated it was a space issue but I explained he'd spliced images before and how much would it cost to get the photo in the paper so I can feel positively represented by my home town as a Newtonian since his only reason was the article was FREE, anyway he got rude and abruptly stated he does a LOT for ADM and it's ALL FREE and that he feels I'm being REALLY UNFAIR and hung u

A weight has finally be lifted:

After a huge fight for a rebooking, I've finally had news today, after having to go to two councilmen and an ombudsman, that Durham County Council has finally allowed me a rebook and that the mess that has been left in my garden RE: Bulky waste will finally be gone. I could cry. Seeing that every single day and having to deal with it impacted my mental health pretty badly and made me feel worse about my home when inside I'm making real progress with organising everything and decluttering. I can finally see major progress and it's keeping me determined to continue, but this whole fiasco with the bulky waste just put a huge dampner on everything and has had me feeling like a failure and getting angry at the furniture in my garden. I'm definitely ADHD because I have so many of those traits and it's so hard to explain to people because they aren't wired like you and don't understand. People don't understand how mental health and disabilities can be interlink

Hacked, Stickers, Betrayal and Pride:

I got my support stickers printed and they came out too cute 🥺: I got hacked for the very first time and had to change all my passwords etc ...  They kept adding me back into the ADM group I left after Tony's comment and I valued some decent women in there, and since the whole Paul Howarth incident, Phillip Hawkins blocked me (not unfriended) on Facebook and now they're declining my posts including a post I shared on behalf of one of their upcoming radio guests regarding Pride at Bishop Auckland College. Guess it's personal and it's boycotting/sabotage in a way. I wish some men grew some bxlls and told me I am not welcome in the 'around town Aycliffe Radio' Facebook group so I can leave instead of wasting my time trying to support my own town and share events and BUILD OTHERS UP, while grown men try and play mind games with me, which I really don't appreciate.  D.I.S.A.P.P.O.I.N.T.M.E.N.T. One of the gentlemen I messaged and asked  'What's going on?
