Back in mainstream.

Feeling Overwhelmed in Mainstream Education I’m 14, trans, and autistic, currently in Year 9 in England. Unfortunately, I can’t manage in mainstream school due to bullying and challenges with my coursework. For the past two terms (12 weeks), I was part of a learning support group called Jumpstart.
