Hi, my name is RakshaUK!
I am carer to my partner who has severe mobility issues caused by arthritis in hips and knees, which is aggravated by a 40cm wide genital lymphodema.
I am AuDHD and also have arthritis in hips and knees.
Our son is ADHD and last year was prevented from starting his second year at University in Cheltenham in Computer Security. So far he has taken it through every stage and it's currently with the Ombudsman.
I'm now hearing from a friend who knows someone with Autism who is also finding he doesn't have a place on his second year.
I can't believe these 2 are the only neurodivergent students who are having such problems.

Hi @RakshaUK, Apologies that you haven't had a reply to this yet. Warm welcome to the online community!
Sorry to hear about your son's troubles with his university course. That must be really upsetting for him and the whole family.
What reasons did they give for not letting him start his second year?
