Recognise Sensory Processing Disorder as a disability in it's own right.
Sensory Processing Disorder is a debilitating condition that can make every day normal living virtually impossible without support, yet it is not recognised on its own as a disability. Only when it comes with a second diagnosis, for example Aspergers Syndrome, is it recognised.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure exactly what you mean by asking for Sensory Processing Disorder to be made a recognised disability.
Laws and policies don't usually list specific conditions and define them as disabilities. In most cases, it’s the impact on the person’s life that qualifies them for protection under the law or makes them eligible for support.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
