Thank-you Orlando Woolf A significant number of these girls will be #autistic; something Mind don’t seem to take into account. Sadly, we can confirm that we had a similar response when, as a group of autistic parents, we contacted the National Autistic Society. We

This day absolutely *will* come and there will be a personal and public reckoning for many people and organisations. Sadly, we fear that many of them will slide quietly into the background and hope their folly will be forgotten. But every organisation, public & government body,
