Adult Social Care
We have a daughter with severe
learning
disabilities
and autistic spectrum disorder. Since she has officially become an adult I am finding it difficult to access support and advice for young adults like her as she is lumped in with people up to retirement age; not students at college like her.

Baffled
I have been feeling deaf in my left ear for years,to me it didn’t feel like true deafness as sometimes when I turned my head it totally cleared until I moved my head again.I also felt my head was full of cotton wool.I asked different GPs for years & they just looked in my ears & said they could see nothing.Eventually

Does any bank provide a service for those with mild learning difficulties?
I know many do this for children up to the age of 16, do any do it for those with
learning
disabilities
?

I felt she embraced my craving to have assistance with my
learning
disabilities
as well as my anxiety and depression. As we were further into the conversation she explained how the program assisted w genetic testing and how successful the outcome has become.

Hi. After a hospital appointment today where I had all the usual hearing tests I was referred for an MRI which came as a bit of a shock but he can’t see anything so thinks it may be more to do with nerves. My symptoms are significant hearing loss in my left ear, tinnitus and sometimes dizzy spells. I

Hearing issues
Hi, does anyone have issues with hearing especially in noisy places. It appears to be a focusing issue as my hearing tests were all ok. Thought it may connected to foggy brain.

How Can My Friend Get Support For Her learning Difficulty?
At the moment she is working at a centre for people with
learning
disabilities
as a cleaner. She is being treated very badly because the manager/assistant manager feels that she isn't working to a good standard. She simply can't reach the standard they are looking for.
