How is this repeatedly made into a policy issue - by *all* parties - when the blunt fact of the matter is that grown adults who are obliged to pay for their own education, and relentlessly pursued to repay their loans, should be able to study whatever the fuck they want.

#AutismArtOfThePossible
Ruth Moyse talks about her past research on autistic children and schools. Every child who wasn't able to attend school said they wished they could attend. But they can't do it. It's impossible for them.
It's not school 'refusal'. They can't access the school.

I think it's improving, she will let me handle it now and the redness seems to have reduced but she's still limping.

But in financial terms, it makes no difference, as Labour still allows energy co's to charge you as if all the electricity is generated by gas.
You get ripped off and they make record profits.

They can't tell what it is - they think she might have cut it (which fits it came on really suddenly when she came in from the garden). Have given us doggie paracetamol and we have to go back in a couple of days if not better. π€π€π€she's heals quick - hate it when my doggies are unwell/in pain

My poor baby is limping - poor Roo dog stepped on something in the garden last night and this morning it's worse and she doesn't want to put the foot on the ground at all, and growls if you so much as touch near it to try and look.

It's why we're called Cassandras, I know, but there's something violent about being treated as mentally fragile for observing objective reality, because that makes people who are in denial feel safer and more in control.
Been here since 2020, but WHEW it's irritating everytime.
