SIR, - I would just like to say a personal thank you for the article "something to shout about" (Herts Advertiser, May 22).

And a very big thank you for using my son Amaru's picture. It was a very nice surprise to see his face there - and as a mother it did bring a tear to the eye!

My son is autistic with severe learning difficulties and I have to say that since joining Watling View School he has made so much progress and he is really enjoying himself there, so I would like to thank all of the staff who take care of him and his needs, and all of the other children and their needs, who attend Watling View School.

And again the article and the picture printed touched my heart, so I have to give thanks and thank you for choosing his picture.

MR & MRS BLAKE,

Sutton Road, St Albans.
