I am grateful that we have managed to keep Oscar in special school throughout his school years, avoiding mainstreaming him into 'normal' school - we want to keep him happy, avoiding bullying and exclusion and thinking that he can think of qualifications later on.

When I see these figures I am very grateful that we have managed to keep Oscar in special school throughout his school years, avoiding mainstreaming him into 'normal' school - we have taken the decision to keep him happy and content throughout his childhood, avoiding bullying and mistreatment as well as exclusion and thinking that he  can think of grades and qualifications a little later on in life, hopefully doing art at college or such like.  This also makes me think of all the students that I deal with as SPS Director of Students with neurodiversity who have managed to get into university (one of the best ones in  the world) but are sometimes very young and are really quite struggling with not just their studies but also their lives and sometimes even basic life skills, being lonely and isolated. I am telling myself that living autism puts me in a better position to offer some advice and support, but I am not always sure.
