Philipson talks of supporting children ‘who don’t fit the mould’.

I'd point out to the DfE (despite the many questions I have on #SENDReforms). They are moving towards a more neuroaffirming practice.
Inclusion Standards, Neurodivergence Task & Finish and the death of diagnosis first. So anything that ignores kids for a 'autism isn't real' really out of step.
