The head teacher sadly reports that the autistic student passed away, despite the family's desperate plea for support.
Isaac Uzoegbu, a 16-year-old boy with autism and learning disabilities, died after being hit by a car when he ran into the road from his house in Gillingham, Kent. This tragic incident marks the third case of an autistic boy dying in the Kent and Medway area in the past three years. Despite his parents struggling to manage his increasingly out of control behavior, Medway Council claims to have provided prompt support to the family. However, the head teacher of Isaac's special needs school believes that his death could have been prevented if the local authority had provided additional behavior support. Experts warn that autistic children are more likely to flee and put themselves in danger if they feel overwhelmed, and local authorities must recognize the risks and take steps to manage a child's behavior.

Current Vitamin D Recommendations May Not Be Enough, Research Suggests

I lived on midnight snacks, flapjacks and cold coffee.

Playing by the rules of the society
The human mind always yearns for freedom, which often means the ability to do what it wants or perceives as being what it wants like it sees fit. This often leads us to believe that things that don't go as we would like are oppression, which takes away our freedom. Rules are sometimes part of those things that we feel take away our freedom simply because they don't allow us to do things like we would like; they tend to force us to walk in a certain way or act in a certain way, which feels like it is against our way of thinking and thus feels like it takes away our freedom.
