Hi all I just finished watching a documentary on channel 4 tv.It highlighted children who have been excluded from primary school age seven.I didn't watch from the start but one child at the end had ADHD, I don't know if any of the other children had autism or any other recognised diagnosis. I just found the programme highlighted that regardless of each child issues and behavioural patterns the staff and children overcame them. So lovely to see them working together and supporting each other. It proves that every child CAN achieve if given the right understanding and coping strategies. I could see autistic-traits in some of them and also saw me as a youngster . The school deserves an award for out standing achievement.
I noticed during the child interviews that most of them had hyper sensitive feelings,one was annoyed at the older children on the bus he travelled on for swearing,he was very upset and angry,they all showed a great deal of empathy toward sad situations. The school is called Rosebery. The staff are angels and in my view are responsible for saving the lives of the children society hasn't got time or understanding for.
I was the kid in infants sat on my own or hiding under the table,no anger or outbursts just didn't belong.My only friend was a newcomer who cried and sat under the table and refused to come out,of course the teacher left me to look after him,well he was in my safe zone.
so many children who are highly sensitive cannot cope with modern young children who believe they are grown ups or act like they are, life is so very busy for them,tolerance and understanding in society in my view is at an all time low.
