PDD-NOS and school

I used to feel this way, but after seeing what the private schools have to offer for high-functioning kids on the spectrum I'm very happy to have made the switch. There is just no comparison to having the services fully integrated in the classroom. Or the small class sizes. Or the personalized attention from the whole school. I love it. My only complaint is the drive.
