    Indeed. It seems as though they think because they've met a child with Autism who has these needs, every child with Autism will have those same needs. That's not true at all.

    From my experience, school teachers and nursery teachers are a bit hit and miss with skills in this area. My son's nursery keyworker is fantastic and has completed a lot of further training but she has done this because she has an autistic child herself and therefore has an interest and dedication. As the nursery knew about my son's situation before hand, they were able to place him under this ladies care intentionally and for that I will be eternally grateful.

    That sounds brilliant! Well, not that the keyworker has an Autistic child; but it's nice that your son has been put with someone who understands.


    For me personally, I wasn't diagnosed until I was 23. I hated most lessons, got bored because I was put in a class of people who were at a different learning level than myself and had (and still do) organisational issues.
