i cannot disagree with magnius more. The question was "do you think that children with special needs are more socially accecptable now than 10 years ago and what can be done to make them even more so?" not "lets slate kids with adhd and society for the mess they created".....special needs can be downs syndrome autism and angelmans syndrome, not just adhd and "that crap". That is the reason why kids with special needs are not as socially acceptable as i'd like. I wanted some feedback as to how i could make it a better place for these kids and to change opions of others, not for them to be slated to the hilt.

I have worked with and for Special Needs Children for two years, special needs covers a lot of areas, ranging from Cognition and learning, Communication and Interaction, Sensory/Physical/Medical and Emotional, Behavioural, Social Development. Just because you can't see the difficulty doesn't mean it doesn't exist. If there is a child with Downs stood next to a child with Moderate learning difficulties or a child with dislexyia, they shouldn't be bullied because they are different, or treated differently all children and adults who have special needs should be treated fairly and equally in and out of school. These individuals have feelings they may have diffficulty expressing them or reading our own emotions just because they have difficuties in communicating we should not make a fuss. I believe the public has gradually accepted people with special needs but his needs to keep on increasing to prevent any discrimination.

I am walking in the street with no care in the world until people start being rude to me. I am dressed in black wearing black eye makeup and have piercings ! Does this give people the excuse to be rude to me push past me and pass nasty looks.
what is your opinion ?
would you smile at a goth in the street ?
or would you snarl at ?
and why wouldnt you smile at a friendly goth in the street x

Everyone has the right to express themselves, as long as people don't preach to me i won't force my views on them no matter how strrongly felt.

I used to be really impressed with the UK's postal services and would not have hesitated to put things in the post. However, now I feel less confident that general post will arrive and will not be tampered with. Am I alone in feeling like this, should I just risk it and post things rather than trying to find a different way of getting things to people?

With the ability to send and complete information on the internet it now bares no relevance to me information can be sent and received via email, the only time i use the post is when I'm at work, we now use TNT for 2nd class post and this is slow but still use Royal mail for 1st class, I believe this is to cut cost for our company but i have no say in the matter
