In this weeks episode Bal and Taj are joined by Gurmat Singh, a specialist in mental health, who explains the signs of autism and ADHD. Special educational needs are a taboo within the community, and this has created a lack of awareness of what autism and ADHD are, and why there is very low engagement with support services. We explore the signs, diagnosis and treatments of autism and ADHD.
We will continue to raise awareness about special educational needs with our event on Saturday 20th May in Swindon, please follow our social media for further information (@changing_suits on IG and FB).
