"I think you have done this very respectfully. I'm looking forward to seeing more and more generations be given a voice, because the educators [who view A Starting Point] will know how to [support students in developing that] voice. In fact, I may consider that this may even become the standard for [supporting] and understanding neurotypical children as well, in a very understanding and respectful manner where their needs and desires are respected and carefully dealt with. They're not spoken down to, never spoken down to, always met half-way, and I'm really grateful to know that this is what's being taught. "
