Jef (13) cannot go to school full-time due to mental problems, but receives a lot of criticism: “No, he is not lazy. He does everything he can to take lessons”

“No, he’s not lazy or spoiled.” Jef has autism and ADHD and therefore cannot go to school full-time. He takes lessons with the help of a ‘robot’ from Bednet, which sits in its place in the classroom. He testified about this at VTM NIEUWS, but the responses he received showed little understanding. “They were sometimes even disgusting,” says his mother An. Jef and An therefore ask for more awareness. “They explained twice to the class how their head works and how my head works. It didn’t help.”
