Does your SN child attend a language immersion school and how is it working out?

Sorry about going off topic on the ADHD thread.

My DS is in preK in a language immersion school where there is no English in preK. Asperger's is suspected. Classic symptoms, does not play with other children and not engaged in class/not sit during circle time but wonder around the classroom, little pretend play, problems with the give and take in conversation, obsessed with doors, lighting fixtures/bulbs, and especially fans. It has gotten much better from the beginning of school and some of it may have been due to this being the first time in a group setting - transition took longer but now he does what is requested and is not a behavior problem.

Does well learning the language and the foreign language helps since everyone has to practice conversations/interactions as part of the curriculum. Cannot talk incessantly about his obsessions nor ask lots and lots of questions, don't know the language well enough.

Very interesting. It sounds like it may be working.
