Article: [senco-forum] pupil with autism

Has anyone had to tell a child they are autistic?

We have a year 7 girl with a Statement for autism. Her parents wish her to
know this. She was diagnosed years ago but only in recent months have her
parents felt she was ready to be told and as they don't know how to go about
it they have asked me to help. They want me to tell her!

Any advice gratefully received.

Regards

Diana
