Imagine a child so traumatized by restraint they develop a fear of a color. This isn’t education—it’s harm. No child should endure this. It's time for laws and protection across England's schools/ #AgainstRestraint #DyingForAnEducation

The image shows a testimony from a parent or carer included in "The ICARS Report." The quote reads:

"He now has a diagnosis of anxiety disorder, and I believe this was brought on by the amount of physical restraints and seclusions he has been subject to. He became afraid of the colour blue; I believe this was because of the amount of time he was put in the 'blue room.'"

The background is a dark blue gradient, and at the bottom left are images of the ICARS report covers. The ICARS and NeuroClastic logos appear in the lower middle, with the website "theicarsreport.com" and hashtag "#DyingForAnEducation" displayed at the bottom right.

Time and time again I keep on hearing "everyone's a little bit autistic" Just two reasons why they say this. 1. They think we are making excuses. How wrong are they. 2. They think it's a compliment when they say this to you to try and relate. Fails on both counts.
