Girls with autism

There are around 700,000 people in the UK with autism and it touches the lives of 2.8 million people every day.

Each year, an increasing number of girls are being diagnosed with autism and with extreme variations in how every girl presents their condition, there is one school changing the lives of autistic girls and their families for the better - Limpsfield Grange in Surrey.

Katie, 16, one of the students at the school, struggles with an obsession with boys that has landed her in trouble both at school and on Facebook. She is here today with mum, Julie, to talk about how the disorder affects her life and how the dedicated team are helping her cope with her obsessions.
