Autistic Boy Fails Exams, But The Touching Letter Teacher Sends Home Will Bring You To Tears

In it, the headteacher Mrs Clarkson wrote: “A very important piece of information I want you to understand is that these tests only measure a little bit of you and your abilities. They are important and you have done so well but Ben Twist is made up of many other skills and talents that we at Lansbury Bridge see and measure in other ways.”

Some of Ben’s strengths she highlighted was his growing independence, kindness, and the ability to make and keep friends. The headteacher ended her letter with the words, ‘Well done Ben, we are very proud of you” and a smiley face.
