Schools and autism

Am currently wading through paperwork on behalf of my eldest son, who has ASD and is struggling at school. Found this quote on a well known mums website I occasionally browse through, and it so sums up the problems!

Trouble with schools is their lack of empathy, absence of theory of mind, poor awareness of emotions, difficulty choosing the appropriate thing to say, inability to build or maintain relationships beyond a superficial level. Oh, plus their inflexibility, routines and obsessions

Exactly.
