Last week, American autism campaigner Dr. Temple Grandin visited Ambitious about Autism and TreeHouse School in north London.
Grandin said: "It has been a wonderful experience to visit Ambitious about Autism and TreeHouse School and see the work done to support children and young people with autism. It is important to identify children with autism when they are younger and get them one to one provision even earlier. I'm a strong believer in early intervention; it's good to see children and young people with autism thriving."
Grandin is a professor of animal science at Colorado State University and was named by Time magazine as one of the most 100 influential people in the world in 2010. In the same year actress Claire Danes played Dr Grandin in a biopic of the same name.
