Local news for Thursday 21st May

The Current Affairs group this month, meeting at One Tree Books, heard Larisa Mendresse-Elder from the Kings Arms talk about young people who may be autistic, have ADHD or other different types of brain.

She talks to Mike Waddington about what it means, and how we should look at 'success'.

Drawing on 14 years as a teacher and her personal experience she says that the prevalence is symptomatic of a too rigid education system.

She also is concerned about the proposals to reform the SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disability) system; pleased there is a debate and a recognition that changes are needed but worries about the funding.
