I couldn’t breathe very well and I was frightened so my mum took me to A&E. I had to wait quite a long time but someone did come and talk to me in the waiting room to ask me some Q’s , I think he was a nurse. Then they took me into a little room and asked me to breathe and felt my back. They asked my mum questions which I normally don't like. Just because I have learning disabilities doesn't mean people should just talk to my mum, but I didn’t mind because I couldn’t breathe enough to talk for long. They said that I was a bit fat and they wanted me to eat more healthy. I eat lots of fruit now and have lost some weight but not enough. I can breathe better though. All the doctors have been nice but I didn’t like being told what to do.
