Trigger warning: self harm
Caitlyn Scott-Lee, 16, is thought to have taken her own life the day before she was due to have her first ever detention
The father of an autistic schoolgirl who is believed to have taken her own life the day before she was due to have her first ever detention has paid tribute to his “daddy’s girl” at the inquest into her death.
I am socially awkward, have been around socially awkward people my whole life. It’s not about being socially competent or not but daring to blame his daughter in an ableist way and not acknowledging she had too much pressure at home.
I’m not talking about awkwardness. Social competence also means recognizing when to recognise others for who they are, and not making things about yourself
