Dedisham Autistic School is now Hillcrest Slinfold School. Details of the closing of Dedisham Autistic School are unknown.
yes it is. my friend has ADD but she still does well in school academically and socially. ADD is easier to hide. Autism can make it hard for kids to learn, and they might have a harder time hiding the fact that they are autistic. they might also suffer socially because they are "weird".
They can.
Autistic kids and teens do want friends, the idea that autistic people are anti-social is false. Autistic people often want friends but struggle to make and maintain friendships.
Yes, autistic children can be taught in mainstream schools. Most autistic children are likely to be mainstreamed, one reason being that autistic children thrive in mainstream school when they're allowed to learn and interact with their neurotypical peers. Often in special education autistic children aren't challenged enough, this is true in mainstream schools too but worse in special education.

Autistic people find it a lot easeir to relate to animals and object than to people

Kids with autism can 'freak out' when other kids cry, all autistic people are different. Autistic people have lower levels of cogitative empathy, meaning that they may struggle to recognise emotions in others or acting appropriately in response compared to neurotypical people, however autistic people have significantly higher levels of affective or 'true' empathy compared to neurotypical people. This means that autistic people can be very sensitive to the emotions of others, when they are able to recognise others are upset it can make autistic people very upset too.
You can't - autism is an absolute, you are either autistic or you are not and there is no way that a person can become 'less autistic'. A person with autism can improve in areas such as commnuication, social skills, and functioning, this tends to happen naturally as autistic people get older and learn new skills, but it is helped by supporting and understanding the autistic person.
No, obviously it's not okay for autistic kids or any kids to eat dirt. eating dirt could make them seriously ill as it could contain any contaminates or bacteria.
