Bursledon Hostital

A Memory of Bursledon.

I was here in approx November 1965 after having Rheumatic Fever. I remember being in a ward which was second on the right off the great entrance hall where we ate and if good were allowed to watch telly some evenings. I recall watching Batman there! I think it was a ten bed ward with a large cot in the bay window. The "baby's" ward was upstairs and we were sometimes allowed to help feed them. On a Sunday we had to attend a service in the hall. This was the only day other children could visit (brothers sisters etc.)

HI - I was also sent there at 13, after horrendous bullying at school and undiagnosed ADHD until I was 48, 4 years ago. I am writing a book and believe so many of us were there for emotional burnout and of course at that time none even knew about ADHD, OCD, Autism etc until after 2000 and would be keen to know if you realised you were neurodivergent?

Thanks
