We have a learning support room. The trouble is that when there aren'tany rooms free in college, people use our learning support room.
When it comes to something like laptops, they shouldn't have any oldlaptops that don't work. They will probably break and you will getblamed.
When somebody says they are going to get you new laptops, they shouldn'tcut between the lines. Any equipment you need, you should get. Whyshould we have to prove over and over again that we have Asperger's orautism or dyslexia?
I have to feel motivated to learn. My film studies course was one of thebest, because the teacher had the same interest. He'd read filmmagazines - he wasn't just a teacher, he wanted to learn about thesubject. He was very approachable, and when I was upset sometimes I justwanted to talk to him.
I told Al (England's children's commissioner) what I'm saying now. Whenyou promise young people something, you give it to them and it shouldn'tbe shoddy. Any equipment and exam conditions you need, you should getstraight away.
