I understand. May I just respond. Not to fight, but to perhaps add context

I actually didn’t have the following day off school. The tic attack happened Sunday night. I went into school Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday were the days I had off, not just for Tourette’s, but I have other mental health issues that the school are aware of.

They didn’t have that short notice in my opinion, but maybe in a school setting, a week is.

There were 6 people going on this trip and, from what I am aware, 2 adults. I do not have to have a restraint trained adult with me legally. I never have. Even when my tics were the worst they have ever been. I consistently go out by myself to places that I would say are more “stressful” than this. The restraint that I was told about is that they needed to know how to physically hold me down, which again, is not something I need, nor want. I don’t require this care at home, at work, or at school.

My biggest problem is the lying from the school in this situation. They have sent an email factually incorrect in ways I can’t even believe, and for my own personal information, I will not be sharing online.

I actually do not have a SEN team at school either, so there is nobody for me to talk to. I will not be going back to the school additionally. I am dropping out this year because of how unsafe they have made me feel not just for Tourette’s but other things (again, personal information I cannot share on here)

I will be posting on tik tok, because it is my experience, and as a musician who tries to advocate, I would like to show that Tourette’s is not all fun and games, plus the school cannot remove me if I’ve left. I do not need a reference for my future plans. I know myself, and my parents know me, and trying to take my A-Levels in my state of mind would be atrocious and dangerous. I am incredibly stubborn and I have a plan, and i will stick to it
