The mask has caused my child so much anxiety. He says he can feel when he is about to pass out from not being able to breathe. He started pulling his mask down to take breaths and has been reported by more than one person in the school. He told me he doesn’t care if he gets in trouble because he’d rather be in trouble than pass out in class. He feels like he will be made fun of if that happens. And to a 13 year old with major anxiety issues that is an issue. The mask is heightening his anxiety so much. He has other disabilities that make this situation so hard for him as well (such as ADHD, sensory integration issues, etc). The school doesn’t seem to care about that though.
