Unfortunately, he failed his SAT exams, which are processed different than SAT exams in the US. In the UK, you take the SAT to decide whether you are eligible to go to a grammar school.
He later received the most touching letter from his teacher, Mrs. Clarkson. His mother, Gail Twist, shared a photo of the letter on Twitter.
“In tears. A letter to my 11 yr old autistic son from his school. ‘These tests only measure a little bit of you'”

“I thought ‘this is incredible, I started to read it – started to blubber – and showed my husband [at which point] we both had tears in our eyes,” Gail told Indy100 about the letter.
“Ben is an incredible child – we get that feedback from everyone, he has the power to make people love him, he’s funny, he’s such a dude!”
