| Dyslexia and autism don't have much in common. Dyspraxia and autism do however. Dyspraxia and dyslexia are so similar they were considered to be the same condition for a very long time and they are commonly confused. If you look at the behaviours for autism, dyspraxia, dyslexia and ADHD there are c... |

| Although I actually like the title I agree with the publishers that someone will take offence. The problem is that even if most people like it those that are offended are can cause problems by down voting it. I think people will take offence at the fact that you can't define autism because there is ... |

| naturalplastic is right that they are two very different conditions that are identified by different behaviours.

| I think it process are slightly different for each NHS Trust but here was my experience: 1. Went to GP, who agreed to refer me. 2. After about 6 months I had an appointment with the a psychologist. I thought this would be my assessment but he took a lot of details down then said that he was forwardi... |

| My impression of the process with the NHS was similar. My wife chased them on my behalf. Fortunately, she is really good at chasing and after being put off for 4 weeks she finally got through. This wait may be part of the process but it is very reasonable for you to start contacting them. When you d... |

| I went for a TA interview at one of the schools I volunteered at a few weeks ago. I emailed asking for feedback and their reply wasn't very positive. I was told basically that my observation in the classroom was s**t. However, I did explain I was nervous and tried my best. They should had taken nto... |

| Hi Alex, It sounds as if you are having a tough time but it sounds as if you have some good experience so hopefully there is a way out. I am in a very similar situation and I have also had similar problems. I have not problems getting interviews for teaching jobs but I am lousy at interviews. I also... |

| It is amazing how many people who have very little understanding of autism in the UK education system, automatically assume that the autistic is the victim. I have seen many bad things in education but this is not one of them. I am still waiting for people to hear suggestions of how you would improv... |

| So you think that the majority of non autistic people are nasty to autistic people because of their autism? No, I think they are made to be nasty. Many of us would not have the problems we do if the very nasty psychological abuse and surveillance, even of private moments, were removed. We would be ... |
