What are the major & minor factors which stop children even starting a scientific investigation by themselves that they would enjoy or help them.
When do these factors become autism?
This question has roots in the time when, as science teacher, I was seconded to be a temporary member of an APU (assessment of performance unit) visiting schools to observe (only) how children behave when presented with a science problem. On one occasion. A quiet 13yr old girl was asked to construct a crude weighing machine from apparatus lying on a bench in front of her. It was laid out in random fashion but was of (to me) obvious usefulness. We were not permitted to help. After about 5 minutes of inactivity she completely broke down in tears and was excused.
