The Supreme Court has ruled that a school in Malmö, Sweden, discriminated against an autistic student by not providing necessary support.

Although the student had not been formally diagnosed at the time, the school's awareness of his needs warranted intervention.

The court has ordered Malmö Municipality to pay 20,000 Swedish kronor in damages.

This ruling emphasizes that schools must investigate and provide support based on students' needs, even without a formal diagnosis.

The student's mother expressed relief, hoping this sets a precedent for better support for children with disabilities.
