I suspect, without being very clearly informed of what was going on that Ricky Gervais and - more particularly - Jimmy Carr would have actually left him feeling a lot worse. I know your points are entirely well intentioned but I do think, on this occasion, you’re maybe over simplifying things.

This may be a naive thing to say - and I didn’t actually watch the programme and don’t know the full circumstances - but couldn't he have been provided with a sort of ‘social chaperone’. I’ve taken very challenging pupils to the theatre and sporting events many times and managing the seating arrangements accordingly is just a gimme.

Andy, I really didn’t mean to touch a raw nerve. Respect the experience you refer to and will leave our debate there.
