Katie Hopkins broke an outrageous record by calling a nine-year-old girl 'a t***', according to mirror, She was tweeting throughout Channel 4's new show, 'Born Naughty', in which nine-year-old Honey was diagnosed with mild autism.

 "Honey can't complete the autism assessment as she is too busy being a complete t***. But the s*** mum assessment is complete #bornnaughty," Katie tweeted.

She went on to another shocking post that was 'favourited' more than 100 times over: "Honey is completing a story about three little pigs. She identifies strongly with this animal #bornnaughty".

She just dismissed behavioural disorders such as ADHD in her Huffington Post blog, and said that the schoolgirl was not a 'little girl'.

"'We are looking at a little girl...' Sorry, I am going to have to stop you there. That girl isn't little #bornnaughty," she wrote.

Honey has mild autism according to The Channel 4 show, which shows consultant paediatrician Dr Ravi Jayaram and family GP Dr Dawn Harper shown suffering from Pathological Demand Avoidance. She struggles with an effort to meet the demands of everyday life.

Katie Hopkins had tweeted: "Honey can't complete the autism assessment as she is too busy being a complete twat. But the shit mum assessment is complete #bornnaughty"

Honey's violent behavior once forced her family members to run from their home in Shropshire. She was shouting, swearing, and threatening them all with knives, and making them call the cops. Even at school, Honey showed occasional violent behavior, issuing threats to kill two teasing classmates. Only with treatment, her life improved and turned better.

Katie Hopkins seems to understand nothing, as the columnist for Sun was threatened by a couple of reports to the police for her "incitement to racism" and also an open letter from Stephen Hawking's daughter explaining the rights of disabled people, according to theindependent.

In an inflammatory tweet, Katie wrote: "The taxpayer is now forking out for play sessions for Honey and a special school. Supplemented by chocolate and red bull #bornnaughty"

Jane Harris, Director of External Affairs and Social Change at the National Autistic Society, fumed and wrote: "We recognise that writing to shock and offend is what Katie does, and nothing we can say will change that, but this is a new low. As well as being offensive, her comments took people's attention away from the important issues raised in 'Born Naughty?'... If Katie wants to really understand autism, we would like to invite her to come to meet some members of the National Autistic Society and hear about the challenges they face every day."

The readers were not outdone while retorting to the former Celebrity Big Brother contestant. One reader said: "The tax payer doesn't mind helping those in need. Imagine if the shoe was on the other foot. You big nosed coooo".

Another said: "Stop bullying a child please!"

A third user wrote: "If anyone has autism its you as you show a clear lack of feeling, compassion or empathy for anyone."

Yet another said: "you are one nasty witch. And that's being polite!"

"Katie Hopkins how low can you go! Is there any group of people you haven't offended yet. People with autism can't help it...," added one more.

Kevin Healey, activist and ambassador for the UK is reported to have said: "I see the hate speech, this Is not the first time she has mocked autism and ADHD, she's gone way to far again. Nearly 7000 people now have asked her to apologise but she refuses point blank. The autism community is outraged and so is the ADHD community too."
