Yet another misguided puff-piece on Chloe Swarbrick today to try and get the sympathy of the voter.
The headline blows the article out of the water. Chloe Swarbrick on living with ADHD: “I love people. I just don’t always know how to understand them.”
ADHD and interpersonal understanding have a marginal relationship. Swarbrick is probably trying to relate to the part of the autism spectrum that used to be called Aspergers.
Basically what she has tried to say here is that if I ever do or say anything wrong it is not my fault – and please vote for me regardless.
She has no credibility whatsoever. If she was so passionate about being neuro-diverse and supporting young people who are neuro-diverse, then she would be supporting every bespoke educational opportunity for children who fit those descriptions.
I am still waiting for her to apologise for the following self-concerned correspondence – and to approach me and ask how she can actually help.
She refused to help a Designated Character School application for 480 neuro-diverse children in Auckland because: “You know that you have multiple times issued press releases and public commentary attacking me and the Greens.”
To say the Greens are even behind Labour on Education says a lot, given the current disastrous situation for NZ students/families.
