I write this editorial in my office during Fresher's Week at the University of Glasgow. As I write, the gentle tapping on my laptop keyboard is accompanied by the deafening throbbing beats from an outdoor sound system, set up just across the road to entice new students to this year's street food festival. Needless to say, this makes concentrating on what I am doing much more difficult. This sort of noise is an example of what we call "sensory stress." Most of us are bothered by such things: the flickering from a faulty fluorescent light, the hammering noises from a nearby building site, the stench of fresh paint from the decorators next door.
Brilliant I am highlighting this through sidecar racing, i hope all approve
Poor response to an email via website looking for support, as their crisis line was unavailable. 3-5 days was the timescale I was given for a reply, waited 8 days and only got one after directly messaging via Facebook, got a pretty cold explanation that I was given wrong time frame, but that someone "should" get back to me.all in all, pretty disappointed, an assurance that I would get contacted would have been better.
Participating in tough mudder this year and fundraising for such a amazing cause has been brilliant! This will be my third time doing events like this for Scottish autism and each time has been with Stacey! Such a passionate individual who makes the whole thing enjoyable even when you want to give up! Cannot thank this girl enough she does a fantastic job!
