Blue Badge

datostar

Just like to make a comment about blue badges and mental health issues. There's a house down the road from me that is used as a care home for a small number of people with learning disabilities, Down's syndrome, cerebral palsy etc. The carers have an MPV to transport them around. Some have physical disabilities but not all. There's a shopping parade nearby and it's noticeable that one man in particular is prone to panic attacks if they walk him over there. He'll sometimes clutch at a lamp-post and it can take several minutes to get him on the move again. They rightly, in my view, have a blue badge for the vehicle and the Council have recently painted a disabled parking space for them in front of the house. I don't have a problem with that at all. Life's difficult enough for people with these problems.

Can I just point out that getting new medical conditions isn't that unusual? Within about 4 weeks, I was diagnosed with 2 and am expecting (not hoping) to be diagnoed with another condition soon, too.

And not everyone tells people online all their medical conditions either.

i thought you was ignoring me ?
