Are the chapters about Jo’s years working as a psychiatric nurse in any way triggering or upsetting? Many thanks.

M…moreA trigger for our family is Jo Brand's excellent writing in her Autobiography about Learning Disability in the context of acute psychiatric illness. My DS has a spectrum of Mild-Moderate Learning Difference and it frightens the hell out of some because you can't see how to help. The Academic struggle is constant and causes great fatigue to Teachers and DS. We sent my DS to a part-time specialist school for Learning Differences when he was in Year 6 and this helped him to accept his Learning Differences amongst a group of kids his age who also struggle. Can we differentiate between Disability and Difference?(less)
