Post Reply New Topic

A company rolling out internet to homes had to remove a telegraph pole from outside the home of an autistic child.

Muhammad-Raihan Master, 10 is profoundly autistic, and when the pole suddenly appeared outside his house on Revidge Road, Blackburn, it threw him and his family into chaos.

Mum Samiya Master said Raihan is non-verbal and has severe sensory issues.

She said: “He struggles to deal with even the smallest change in his routine. Raihan was terrified of the pole. He couldn’t sleep, which meant his siblings couldn’t either.

“Every night after the pole appeared, Raihan would wake up every hour and run into our room to look out of the window and check that it was still there.
