It makes my blood boil that so many normal children are deemed to have special needs - 29 July 2010
The Daily Mail, 29 July 2010
More and more children, we were told this week, are being diagnosed with some sort of educational special needs. Little Johnny doesn't read well? Must be dyslexia. Sweet Sophie won't sit still? Must be attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Badly behaved? Could be conduct disorder or oppositional defiant disorder - syndromes I thought were made up until I read about them in this week's newspapers.
