Couldn’t agree more. Ashleigh is a damning indictment of the education system. She’s frivolous, silly and shallow and she proves the adage that ignorance is bliss. I don’t know much about autism but I think I remember that they struggle with contact, you know… hugging and touching. I don’t think Ashleigh has any problems on that score.
