20mph zones in Wales and the Welsh prick

There's disabled and there's "disabled "........people with disabled children deserve as much help as the state can afford, people with " disabled" kids who are pushed to claim they are " disabled " by certain agencies and the Scottish govt themselves do not deserve an extra £700 per MTH.

There's disabled bairns and difficult bairns, difficulty and stroppy ain't disabilities......bit like drug addiction.

100% this. My son was a bit difficult when he was young but we got on with it and managed him. Good friends of mine had a son a few years later who was nowhere near as difficult as ours but they pushed the issue and got him diagnosed with ADHD. The doctors pumped him full of drugs and more or less turned him into a zombie. To this day I think there was nothing wrong with him but they created problems for him.

My son is now a perfectly normal adult at 34 but theirs is still dependent on his parents at 20.

Ok then Mr medical expert, what do you class as "so called disabilities" And when you do list them as you no doubt will, provide facts and why you think they are not disabilities, not just your ill informed opinion, facts to prove they are not disabilities.

If kids have disabilities then should be sent to special schools such as Fairmuir Special School in Dundee which was originally opened as the result of a polio epidemic in Dundee.
Latterly it was mostly mentally handicapped pupils who attended Fairmuir Special School.

No. I was a pupil at Downfield Primary School and then after passing my eleven plus exam I was a pupil at Morgan Academy Senior Secondary School.
My father joined the staff of Fairmuir Special School as an assistant PE teacher in August 1953 and retired as the headmaster on 31st October 1988.
