British secondary schools are a nightmare hell. I don't mean that in an endearing quirky "Ooh, we're so dysfunctional!" way, no, they are literally mass-produced trauma factories. ESPECIALLY "autism schools". I basically all but skipped school (went, but didn't do any of the lessons) and I don't regret it a bit. Hoards of violent students, and staff who - while well-meaning and probably knowing better - are ordered to respond violently as well. Who knew that fighting fire with fire just makes the fire spread?
