I attended Weydon School and experienced harmful, inappropriate support. At the time, I did not have a diagnosis. I was told meaningful support would not be provided without one, while anxiety and neurodivergent traits were treated as behaviour and punished rather than supported.
After leaving school, I was later diagnosed with ADHD and autism, and subsequently with PTSD and Generalised Anxiety Disorder β diagnoses that finally explained what was happening back then.
Since speaking out, I have heard multiple accounts from former students sharing similar β and in some cases deeply distressing β experiences. Iβve heard horror stories alongside my own.
This is not isolated. It is a pattern π·
If you attended Weydon School and experienced harm, dismissal, or punitive responses related to mental health, ADHD, or autism, Iβm inviting you to share your story privately.
This is about advocacy, accountability, and protecting future students.
Not naming individuals. Not public accusations.
Your story matters. Your wellbeing matters π€
