Autistic Mother.

[Lilyannaaa]

I am an autistic single mother and I was also in a domestic violence marriage, I suffer with depression and anxiety and I have a 9 year old daughter I really would prefer if the headteacher would allow me to use the front entry as I work and I have to catch two buses as my house is literally across the road:

Yesterday I told her and I felt like I was being intimidated and interrogated by with her questions.. I felt really uncomfortable and belittled. All I want is my life easier but she still wants me to go around the park way like other parents. After that I started crying when I got home and felt so awful and small.

I think you need to think about why you want to access school at the front. If it is because you live at the front, work and get 2 buses, and you would prefer it, then I think you have to suck it up. Just like others who have reasons why slightly different arrangements would be easier for them. If, however, it is for disability related reasons e.g. because you can’t cope with the busyness of the back because of your disability then that would be a reasonable adjustment.

You know nothing of my situation so don’t tell me to suck it.. I just don’t know how to properly word stuff.

My post is based on what you wrote in your OP.

I only said I think you have to such it up if you want to access school at the front just because you live at the front, work and get 2 buses. I stand by that.

I did say if it was actually for disability related reasons rather than that it would be a reasonable adjustment.
