I FEEL that I must draw attention to a mistaken impression given in your otherwise excellent article "Mum to show art by son who starved after benefits slashed" about my son Mark Wood (June 26).

It was not the case that Mark could not abide other people. He generally liked people very much but his extreme social sensitivity made it very difficult for him to cope with public situations.
