Today marks the second day of the Abrahart appeal against the University of Bristol. This case has been a long time coming and will hopefully bring clarity to the debate for a duty of care.
ForThe100 want to share our support for this wonderful family💛 #forthe100#fornatasha

Universities provide social activities to those with autism but not other neurodiversity's, why not when they too have social communication issues. dyspraxiafoundation.org.uk/awareness-week…
Evan loved reading from a very young age. Where Evan went books went to. Every Christmas in his memory we intend to buy some books for others. This year we have bought some books for the local squirrel scout drey. #BooksforEvan

Sticks and stones may break your bones but words can kill. Even seemly innocent words when you are severely depressed can see no future the words.... 'You are just studying to avoid working' yes that may have been the case, but another year and his life may have been different.
Evan was 13 when we paid for a private OT assessment and then got referred to NHS Paediatrician, no help after diagnosis. This quote has been said to be a few times to me like its the reason, the reason is society not accepting neurodiverse. #forthe100

Universities tend to split their support into Autism, Dyslexia support (which covers the Spld's),mental health support. It needs to be more holistic, #Dyspraxia many individuals are known to have difficulty in social situations, anxiety and depression. #forthe100
All students need to take this, spot the risks in your fellow students and not just say ' you are hard to reach so we don't bother with you' #forthe100#dyingforadegree

A SLAP IN THE FACE, for bereaved families.
if you want the TRUTH why IGNORE detailed evidence submitted to the debates committee. and instead
WAIT FOR MORE STUDENTS TO DIE and use a superficial tick box exercise were universities mark their own homework.
