    My partner’s 7-year old niece has just received a diagnosis of autism (“while it’s difficult to diagnose young children, and more so female children, in xxx’s case she has a plethora of symptoms that put her firmly in a diagnosis of autism”). This diagnosis did not surprise her school, her...

    Girl, born Sat 23:15, 7lbs 5oz, no name yet - I’m thinking Steve. The midwife was approving, the dentist’s secretary was positively enthusiastic. Her mother somewhat less so. She’s being outvoted 3-1 atm… The expression is just after her mum told her about the reffing at Spurs.
