Very sadly, very true! We regularly organise a Disco that finishes at 9pm. A group of adults who live within walking distance attend with a number of Support Workers. ALL are rounded up and ALL leave at 8.30pm. The reason? 'Medication'.

My blood boils. My young adult son with ID goes out dancing all night long. Walks home at 5am. He wants to be where the young people are, especially the young ladies!! Haha! 🤣
