There is nothing stopping you from asking for more training. In fact, you would earn more money for it.

As a teacher of 34 years I've a lot of experience,and as a supply teacher I've been in most of the local secondary schools..and there ARE NO AUTISTIC CHILDREN in mainstream education here and no one who is trained to teach autistic children..
Autism is dealt with differently around here..it's recognised as a syndrome that needs very careful teaching and a far quieter environment than is possible in an average primary or secondary school.Aspergers and the like are dealt with as are the physically disadvantaged but that is mostly in newly built schools(academies) because facilities can be provided as par for the course in newly built schools
