Hasitha Illa and Saakshi Singla’s book Wheeling Away exhorts kids

Hasitha Illa and Saakshi Singla’s book Wheeling Away exhorts kids to comprehend handicap.

One can do so much when they use their impairment as a strength, and one specific debut author achieved just that. Hasitha Illa has Friedreich’s Ataxia, a neurological disorder that predominantly affects the nerves and muscles and results in a loss of control over body movements. Despite this, she has made it her greatest strength. Why blend in when you were born to stand out? she asks on social media.

Hasitha Illa has devoted her life to demonstrating that she can stand out from the crowd and would not let her impairment stop her in any manner, despite the fact that it was difficult for her to fit in. She also coordinates the #WeSupportTheRare initiative, which focuses on helping those with People with Disabilities.

Health workers in England will receive training on autism and learning disabilities

Following a bereaved mother’s four-year fight, mandatory training for health and care personnel in England to support persons with a learning disability and autistic people has begun.

Oliver McGowan, age 18, had modest learning disabilities and autism, and doctors “arrogantly” prescribed antipsychotic drugs to him despite his family’s warnings that they were inappropriate for him. Oliver died as a result.

On Tuesday, McGowan expressed relief over the change her years of lobbying had brought about and said it gave her comfort that others would now have a better chance of getting the care they need.
