[quote=Anonymous]Keep him there for as long as they are willing to include him. For one, a high functioning autistic diagnosis means both that he’s doing pretty well and that he might grow out of it in time (it might not be accurate). What he needs most is playtime with other kids and tolerance and a willingness to adapt to some of his needs from teachers which is something you seem to have. In a special preschool he might spend more time on preacademics rather than social play which isn’t as good for him developmentally (a public school special ed programs focus is on getting a kid academically ready for school and less on social skills). Also take him for speech, OT and any special social skills classes that you might find and it seems like you’ll be doing the best for your child now. Also take him to a developmental pediatrician and run all of this by him or her regularly. They can best advise you. [/quote]
