[quote=Anonymous]Wondering if anyone has had a similar situation and how they have handled it? My 15 year old just started high school. He is higher functioning on the autism spectrum and does not see himself as a peer of the other aspie's in his special school program. He does not want special ed supports even in the few mainstream classes he is taking. He says he just wants to be "normal." Unfortunately, academics are a struggle and I am hesitant to completely mainstream him because he may end up failing all his classes. I know this is taking a huge toll on his self-esteem. It is really heartbreaking. We are working with a therapist but I would be interested in hearing similar experiences. Thanks.[/quote]
