    Well, yes, a teacher. The highly qualified in mental conditions/developmental conditions. Very much known for their training in psychiatry

      The sad part is that they are a special ed teacher. Imagine what misconceptions they are promoting.

        They didn’t actually say that. They said they “work with special kids”.

        This tells us two things: they work in an education system which doesn’t strictly segregate autistic kids out of mainstream, and they’re about 10 years behind the pedagogical terminology. Which puts them just right for being an ordinary teacher in Britain, sticking their oar in where it doesn’t belong.

        Yeah, they might have actually received training for recognizing autism and apparently, it’s rather even misleading them.
