   @pathfinder @autistics I've talked to an acquaintance who is a schoolteacher in #HongKong . Their education system is so far advanced that they *already know* who all the autistic kids are in the classrooms by the time they're 6 years old. This friend knows who each autistic kid is already, complete with the training on how to keep an eye out for their special needs. #HongKong has blown the doors off Western education in countries like #Canada, when it comes to #Autism awareness.

     This caught my attention. I don't know how accurate these figures are. Not without access to the original research to assess it. But if these are in any way close, then bloody hell. I've always been of the opinion that the majority of adults weren't diagnosed in one way or another. But these sorts of figures were surprising. In any case, it is good to see something like this in mainstream media and the consequences of it, being discussed.
