Debbie Reynolds, a mother of four, struggles with her son Elijah's need for outdoor play due to his severe autism and other health conditions. Living in a flat without outdoor space, she faces challenges taking him to parks where crowds and noise trigger anxiety. Concerned for his safety and well-being, Debbie has started a petition advocating for dedicated time slots in parks for special needs children, hoping local councils will implement changes to allow these children more freedom to play and interact safely with their environment.
He doesn't feel safe or welcome in a place that should be open to everyone. The crowds, the noise, the chaos, it's just too much.
It's so isolating, so unfair, he deserves to be out.
They could create dedicated time slots at local parks or playgrounds for children with special needs, so they can feel free to play, interact, and just be themselves.
Debbie has launched a petition asking London councils to help families like hers, which has so far gathered 200 signatures.
