I have given the honour by my old secondary school to return there to do something rather special to talk to young people about my experiences as an adult who has left the school and has been out in the adult world for four years. About the good experiences navigating services and the rather tricky experiences i have faced and learnt to deal with due to my disability. My mission is to enable these young people to be prepared to fight the rather off putting opinions of professionals and empower them not to get discouraged and enable them to follow their dreams. They will leave school prepared for this as i left school with no clue as to what adulthood would be like as a disabled person. Even though it has been better than I thought it would be there have been some challenges that wouldn’t be challenges for someone in the mainstream community.
