The crayons were in activity packs given out to families over Easter, the National Trust says.
Crayons were given to children at a museum before a historic statue was scribbled on, the National Trust said.A memorial to landscape architect Capability Brown was also defaced on 8 April, the trust added."The trail had been running for seven days and hundreds of families had completed the trail without incident," a spokesperson said.
Lancelot 'Capability' Brown Memorial's work landscaping the grounds is thought to have been his first large commission. "Disappointing as they are, incidents like this are very rare considering the millions of visitors who enjoy and respect the places in our care," the spokesperson added.

Sex differences in the temporal dynamics of autistic children’s natural conversations - Molecular AutismBackground Autistic girls are underdiagnosed compared to autistic boys, even when they experience similar clinical impact. Research suggests that girls present with distinct symptom profiles across a variety of domains, such as language, which may contribute to their underdiagnosis. In this study, we examine sex differences in the temporal dynamics of natural conversations between naïve adult confederates and school-aged children with or without autism, with the goal of improving our understanding of conversational behavior in autistic girls and ultimately improving identification. Methods Forty-five school-aged children with autism (29 boys and 16 girls) and 47 non-autistic/neurotypical (NT) children (23 boys and 24 girls) engaged in a 5-min “get-to-know-you” conversation with a young adult confederate that was unaware of children’s diagnostic status. Groups were matched on IQ estimates. Recordings were time-aligned and orthographically transcribed by trained annotators. Several speech and pause measures were calculated. Groups were compared using analysis of covariance models, controlling for age. Results Autistic girls used significantly more words than autistic boys, and produced longer speech segments than all other groups. Autistic boys spoke more slowly than NT children, whereas autistic girls did not differ from NT children in total word counts or speaking rate. Autistic boys interrupted confederates’ speech less often and produced longer between-turn pauses (i.e., responded more slowly when it was their turn) compared to other children. Within-turn pause duration did not differ by group. Limitations Our sample included verbally fluent children and adolescents aged 6–15 years, so our study results may not replicate in samples of younger children, adults, and individuals who are not verbally fluent. The results of this relatively small study, while compelling, should be interpreted with caution and replicated in a larger sample. Conclusion This study investig
