Luke Jackson has Asperger's syndrome, a form of autism. Luke perceives this a gift.  

Below is a quote that is very powerful and would be good to share with all students/staff and parents.

'Everything is so busy at school and everyone else, all the kids and all the teachers, seem to have a purpose and I never have quite fathomed out what that purpose is.

I know we are there to learn, but there seems to be much more going on than that. It is like beginning a game without knowing any of the rules or the passwords.' 
Luke Jackson (2002)
