Simba has always struggled with accepting his autism, blaming it for many of the difficulties in his life.
When he applied to be head boy, one of the things he wrote was that he wanted to show that children with autism or had bad starts could achieve.
Tonight at parents evening the head of college told me about something that happened at a recent school open day where Simba was showing parents round. A parent challenged the head about what the school could do for her son who had autism. Before she could answer Simba stepped in and said I'm autistic, look what I've achieved.
I'm so proud of him, that he can own it and not be ashamed anymore
