I'm puzzled, yet again. Did this not start of as a wish for people with autism to be accepted?

"My wish for 2010 is that people will understand autism is not a disease; people with autism are not looking for a cure but for ACCEPTANCE

Yet we are now being told that to send autistic children to mainstream schools will cause no end of harm to them, depending on the school. Surely the way to ensure acceptance is to treat them as normaly as possible. Or are we saying that schools who specialise in different types or learning should be the norm? In which case the pupils with different needs could find themselves having the advantage of specialist treatment while the majority are left to their own devices.

Tough one to figure out. No wonder they spend millions trying to resolve the issues. Sounds like a case for SuperMum with her magic raygun full of coloured stars and happy thoughts once more. I wonder why we pay taxes when everything can be solved so easily...
