Being a father of an autistic lad, I can tell you that Special Schools are now rare... New Labour decided to "integerate" them into mainstream schools but forgot to give enough training to teachers... and it's even worse at Secondary level where pupils change teachers several times a day.

The physical and mental effects of autism are so varied that it is very difficult to know how to deal with each affected person without a LOT of training and experience.
