@CoolBlenderKitten @Garwboy I'm kind of dark joking. When I was a kid in mental hospital there were only 30 places in the whole of Scotland for kids, so it wasn't by any means every autistic kid that was sent there. Whether I was 'lucky' or not... is I think impossible to tell.

But I do honestly believe that all the mental health trouble I've had all my life is a direct result of how my autism was handled in my first year in primary school.
