Interesting though that in telling me it's not black and white you think that I'm probably a black and white thinker. How fuckin' wrong can you be!
I can only go by the way it read.

I'm still struggling with what can only be called a mental health issue following the death of my son 8 months ago.
I'm sorry to hear that.

I know full well that mental health issues are not madness.
Good, we agree.

Of course, it's good that you recognise that children identifying as animals, men identifying as women and vice versa etc are mental health issues.
Now who's making assumptions? I've posted previously on this and certainly not stated that.
As I said:
And another aspect is the barely understood link between autism and sexual identity (and also with eating disorders, possibly more).
I'll be honest and say that I don't know a massive amount about autism. But I do know that simply telling that girl to '
stop' is unlikely to be particularly successful.
What we know is from how it's been reported in the press. So you can guess at the accuracy Vs sensationalism.
But it's unlikely that they are going to detail the attention and adjustments made, provision, etc.
The linked article mentions her licking objects. Priors Court School is near here (providing education and residential care for young people with complex autism). From a neighbour working there, that's not at all an unusual interaction.
