Ofsted climbs down

I saw that too and I'm glad, what on earth made them take this stance in the first place? It seems a classic kneejerk reaction to one autistic person doing something abhorent that in no way reflects the rest of us. What about NT children who become radicalised, don't they count?

Thank you to all organisations and people who campaigned for this change

It's fear of difference. Our hobbies seem eccentric to them and they label them special interests. Some autistic people have meltdowns in public and all autistic people are labelled prone to violence.

Are we prone to violence, I would of thought more of us are prone to self harm or curlig up in a ball and hiding under a table.

I love to cook, this seem eccentric to people who don't and who see food as mearly fuel.

I love gardening, some people don't and think it a waste of time, the same as they do reading, when I could be "doing something", they never say what though. I'm sure we all have eccentricities, after all most of us are British, eccentricity is a British thing that we do instinctively!
