  1. Suzanne Warburton Me too. There's content elsewhere about undiagnosed mums.

  2. Spitfire VBTROP It's a bit of both. I think isolation can be son powerful, and for those girls that sense of community looks wonderful. I don't think they're being warehoused. But I do identify with seeing that risk as well. I think "lower functioning" people are at greater risk potentially. Or the whole spectrum of autism and indeed meta of other differences and diff|ability, or indeed disability, will be misunderstood by public perception' viewfinder control, VT editing. There are some difficult questions but that doesn't make them less worthwhile. Registers for people with learning disability scare me in this worldwide political climate, but the intention as sold is to improve service provision. And get information to people. Get understanding too. But a racial register or similar is reacted against for the same reasons that might apply. Equality data is one argument or thing and a register another or is it. Really things should be set up to be a society friendly and open to understanding everybody at every point of contact from the get go. We won't get there immediately. It is hard to summarize and reach an upshot even where we share core values. Do we push through, sideline any attempt at registration or community or non integration as best we can!? Maybe it's more practical to start setting up underground railroads for autism, learning disability, all physical and sensory disability too, in advance. Or maybe find our Xavier and the crack teams of X-men to defend schools like this!!!???

  4. I quite possibly have autism, my son is diagnosed and I myself went through a lot of what these children went through (that's why I can see the value of camaraderie these children obviously have) but for me it was fairly inconclusively then, my mum decided it was just part of everybody being different and took against the idea of labelling. Until they thought I might have dyspraxia, her and my auntie. Neither of then would have thought autism in a million years though probably. Politics and quixotry are obsessional interests. That's often how I write because I can't contain and edit my thoughts so well and the more I try it can result in longer comments or nine at all. I can see why it's difficult to read and engage with though.
