Political Correctness Gone MadFreddy Woo writes: "I once worked on an animation to help highlight the issues homeless people face in winter. The client was happy with the work, then a note came back that the ethnic mix of the characters were wrong. These were cartoon characters. They weren't meant to be ethnically anything, but we were forced to make one of them brown, at the cost of about 10k to the charity. This is how your donations are spent. Wisely as you can see."

OK, I think I better explain...I'm not actually disrespecting those disorders. I agree that they are serious and do need tackling.
However, there is a selection of pupils in school who are quite simply tagged with such disorders despite the fact - in many cases - that they're just different/lazy/hard-working.
I have family with Autism and Aspergers - but they're certainly more characteristic of the behaviours and actions you would expect of people with such problems - not some of the students that I see on a regular basis.
So there you go.
