Look at the comments, I had to stop.

Dyslexic kids are thick, ADHD is an excuse for bad parenting...

We'll be bad parents only if we roll over and accept this type of nonsense : )

There are an awful lot of really bigoted attitudes out there, often caused by ignorance. If only people knew just how hard it is to get a diagnosis! More stories of the real day to day struggles our children face urgently need to reach the media.

Combined with what this government has done in the arena of adult disabilities and financial support I think they need to hang the coalition leaders need to hang their heads in shame. A civilised society always supports it's most vulnerable; we are in danger of becoming savages.

i feel sick to the stomach at so many bigoted ill informed people out there only yesterday my DD came home upset as her best friend had told her about a conversation she had had with another friend the day b4 on the way home, taking the pee out of kids going to the school her brother goes too saying they were thick retards and her friend says sh stuck up for my DS and my DD saying how nasty it was and the girl just said og it doesnt matter she cant hear us did you see on breakfast tv a parent of an Autistic child and someone (didnt catch who sge was ) talking about the changes ? made my blood boil

O.K ....I had to stop reading !

There is a button you can press to flag any comments as 'innapropriate'. What an idiot that poster is who said ASD is a result of poor parenting.

i did too couldnt continue with all the comments and i flagged it hope everyone does

That is terrible. DH and I got no help in school (he has dyslexia and AS, I have dyslexia and dyspraxia). I thought things had progressed so that our children would get the help they need and deserve but it appears we are going backwards.

i thought so too in certain ways anyway until ii came across some very prejudiced teens to do with ASD/ AS and my DS's SS im so upset about it and i thought people were more tolerant then i go and read this in telegraph i feel so sad this morning
