Manchester University students’ union has voted to ban clapping because it could trigger anxiety and said “jazz hands” should be used to show appreciation.
Do you agree?
YES 4% NO 96%
No. I have ADHD and suffer from low tolerance to loud noises, but I think this is a step too far. GIGLAMESH
Yes. Ignorance is rife. Our young son has a sensory processing disorder and cannot handle loud noises such as clapping. ANTHONY VAUGHN
Yes. My son is autistic and hypersensitive, meaning things are 10 times louder to him than us and cause him pain. VICKY CROWTON
No. In a few years’ time they’ll wonder how they could have done such a silly thing. ADAM
No. Everything will be banned soon in case it causes anxiety in someone. Total madness! ALI4
No. The students absolutely must protest this by unanimously disregarding this ludicrous rule. NEBULA0024
