A letter to my Year 2 Teacher, from your Neurodivergent student (21st April 2024)
This letter was submitted by a Square Peg Round Whole WA member and their Year 2 Neurodivergent child. This letter is in response to the recent media on neurodivergent students and school behaviour.
A student's hand-written letter containing illustrations of planets. The letter contains spelling that has been changed for accessibility purposes. All names have been redacted. The letter reads: 'Date 21/4/24. Hello miss year 2 teacher. Just wanted to tell you I am not sure if you know about this but union for teachers is being mean to disabled kids like me so if you know about this please can you tell them not to be mean. Also I am feeling very very very mad about this so could you tell them if you know about this and tell them to maybe change the newspaper to maybe something better oh and I do not think I mentioned the newspaper. Thank you if you do. From your Neurodivergent Student.'

“I highly recommend Lou’s podcast. As a parent of a neurodiverse child, Square Peg Round Whole really resonates with me. I listen to each one, and I find both comfort and guidance in these conversations.”
