TV programme about autism on tonight

Maybe Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is the way forward in educating children, both in academic terms and in child development?  However, I am sure that a one-size-fits-all approach is not suitable in all cases.  

In my childhood, I had teachers regularly try to get me to hold a pen and pencil the "correct" way.  Aged almost 37, I still write in the same way as I did in my first year at Primary School.  

My handwriting is also poor, so I write in capital letters.  I wrote in capital letters and held my pen the "wrong" way when I retook GCSE English Language in 1997.  I still passed with a B grade.  

Despite holding a pen, pencil, charcol, etc, the "wrong" way, I still passed GCSE Art and Design with a C grade. 

I prefer to type rather than write, including when I am writing personal letters to friends and relations.

I was only diagnosed with Asperger / High Functioning Autism at the age of 34.  If I was a child now, in an era when Autism is more recognised, I wonder whether teachers would still try to correct my handwriting and the way I hold a pen/pencil?
