C's and S's etc

This was my alphabet for infant school, Hergé describes very well how  I try to spell, the ITA spelling was abandoned when I got to Primary school, non of the teachers believed I had been taught in this way, I came from a different infant school from everyone else in the class.

Ladybird books did a whole range of ITA books.
I obviously didn’t know I was autistic and have dyslexia, I was put into remedial lessons with what the teachers called ‘the pond life.’ 

I was also in the remedial class which was loving know as the thickies. At least it got me out of PE which is great when you hate team sports.

PE was also my most hated lesson, my motor skills were very poor compared to most of the class, it’s not until all the dots start to join up that we realise just how different we were and are.

I used to play 'ball avoidance football'. I ran about, so could not be criticised on that score, but studiously avoided being anywhere near the ball. As I was known to be utterly useless at all ball sports, no one ever deliberately passed to me, which suited me fine.
