Banned, legal question

I am banned from the autistic charity drop ins. I am unsure if I would have a legal case of disability discrimination or not. I am going to ask citizens advice scotland and so far I have contacted one law firm. Although I am engaging with my mental health nurse and the organisation turning point. And I agree to use cards with messages on for example like I don't want to chat right now or I need some time on my own if I get too stressed or anxious. I have went to the hospital on occasions and have contacted helplines like the Samaritans as I didn't want to act on suicidal feelings and not being able to access the drop-in is having a very detrimental effect on me. Does anyone know where I stand please, legally
HI there

I have been following the thread a bit, and trying to understand what might be going on.

You have told us that you have been banned from a meeting place where you physically met with other people, but you have not told us what was said to you.

In order to respond more effectively it would be helpful if you could relay a bit more of what was said and of the context in which it was said. This will help us make more meaningful responses. You responses to date have been quite brief.
 
I got back in, I believe the threat of legal action may have prompted them to let me in.
On another subject there is an inconsiderate service user who plays his music loudly all the time, I don't know why he doesn't wear earphones/headphones. A few people have agreed with me.

By no means an unacceptable request.

Besides, a good pair of headphones inevitably beats some cheap speakers. :)

He's playing his music on speakers in a space highly populated by a cohort known for sensory issues? The word for that type of individual is TOSSER. You're well within your rights to ask him to either use a headset/earphones or turn it off.
