In this paper, the author explores potential reasons for the difference in marks given to autistic students, relative to their typical peers. As an English teacher, she had noticed that the grades given to autistic students at GCSE were generally lower and suggests this may be due to the fact that assessors do not value some aspects of their written work. She conducted a small scale study where she compared the creative writing of 11 autistic students with 11 non autistic students matched for cognitive ability. The findings suggest that teaching staff and examiners need to develop their understanding of the different attributes demonstrated by autistic authors to reflect these in the grades given.
