Why are people rude to those with learning disabilities?
As when I’m out and about I find people to be staring, laughing at me or just ignoring me and not taking me serious. Has anyone else seen / heard about this?

Thought I was figuring things out...
I'm a school nurse and I became passionate about advocating for kids with ADHD, ASD and other
learning
disabilities
. Ned Halloway, who you all most surely know of, has said that ADHD is both over-diagnosed and under-diagnosed.

Had my Ent appointment
Hi everyone, I thought I would give a quick update as so many of you kindly responded to my previous post about my sudden hearing loss. I just got home from my Ent follow up after my hearing test and mri. He told me there is no tumour which is great news. Of course I’m thankful for this outcome

Visit to the audiologist
This forum is excellent. Any thoughts from anyone would be much appreciated. I was referred to hospital by my GP in 2018 following several bouts of unexplained deafness. I have had several ear irrigation treatments prior to hospital visits but GP surgery has stopped performing this. My first hospital
