My 2 students are both autistic, not out of design, just turned out that way!

One of them had a melt down pretty much the entire lesson but seemed to not need anything explained to him, he just knew instinctively what to do which was pretty remarkable. He Kept on saying he was stupid though which was sad!

2. Im being given help looking for a new flat.
