Ava had never been into girly things, I had tried to get her into ballet and dance but she wasn’t interesting. Her first year at school, Ava was tested for autism and the results were positive so I became a devastated mother because my child was dumb.

Years later, Ava proved this statement to be correct when she won the County’s Children Chess Championship.
