[quote=Anonymous]I am sorry, OP. I have a 2E kid, too, and we homeschooled through 7th. I didn't feel isolated but, for my kid, it was enough to have his sports team (year round), plus a couple of good friends from the neighborhood.

Are you local? My son also did a weekly nature program and made wonderful friends. I have found the homeschool community to be very warm and welcoming.

When we decided to look at private schools, I toured a range. Schools for kids with special needs, schools for advanced learners, religious schools, smaller mainstream private schools. On paper, he could have fit in at any of them. The process helped me realize a few things. First of all, I wasn't interested in *convincing* anyone to take my son. He is a mix of some extremes but he's also a great, very hard-working kid. If school wasn't enthusiastically inviting, I moved on. And second, flexibility on the part of the administration counts for a lot. My son doesn't need special education but he does need accommodations. We ended up choosing a mainstream private with a very welcoming atmosphere that is very flexible about accommodations. I know that we could have found more advanced academics elsewhere but he's being challenged in plenty more ways and it has been a great experience.[/quote]
