What the petition asks
With increased reports of mental health issues, it’s imperative that child are educated about hidden disabilities, such as ADHD, ASD, Crohn's disease and many more. Sadly many people do not know about hidden disabilities, or neurodiversity. This can have a huge impact on people's lives.
People who have hidden disabilities often face judgement or prejudice, because they are not understood. If people learned about hidden disabilities as part of their education, they could be more accepting and less judgemental.
