Transport Challenges

Hey everyone!
I'm Talie, for those of you I haven't met, my role here at The Mix is to work alongside the wonderful community team and to make sure your voices are at the centre of everything we do. It's a great job and I'd love to hear from you if you want to get more involved
I wanted to get your thoughts on something we’re working on. If you're neurodivergent, have you ever felt like public transport can be a bit of a struggle? Whether it's the bus, train, or something else, we’re interested to hear about any barriers you’ve experienced.
We’re thinking of researching how a text-based support service could help people who find public transport challenging because of neurodivergence or mental health reasons. But before diving in, we want to understand more about your experiences directly from you.
If you’re comfortable, please share below – it might help someone else feel less alone, too! And if mental health is more your focus, there’ll is a similar post over in the health and wellbeing section for that topic specifically.
If you have any questions - let me know.
Thanks so much! 😊

All in all I always felt scared and vulnerable on the way to college every morning to the point I had to sit with my friend through an attack before lesson
Thank you so much for sharing with us. It sounds like you used to have to manage a lot just to get to college, it sounds really stressful. I'm glad you had a friend to sit with though.
Did you ever reach out for support while you were catching taxis and feeling anxious? Is there anything that helps when you're having a panic attack. What support could have been helpful during that time do you think?
I really appreciate you sharing this with us, it's really insightful for us to know all the things you have to think about when catching public transport.

I had to hold my bible on the way and have my music on in one ear because both made me anxious
