[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Me too! I was hoping to tour it this spring, but I guess it'll have to wait until fall.

Our neurospychologist has been recommending it for years. He says it's about 1/3 autistic kids and good for kids who need executive function support and a gentler social environment, but have the academics to be going to college. [/quote]

Thanks, that's helpful.  One of my concerns about Nora is the peer group, so I'd love to hear more.  Social is definitely my kid's strength, and he's a pretty extroverted kid.  He makes friends with everyone, so a diverse peer group is great.   But he's also a kid who wants to have a lot of peer interaction. [b] I imagine that in high school he's going to want to be inviting friends over, and hanging out with friends after school, etc .[/b] . . In my experience with some of his friends who have ASD, or social anxiety is that they're often more introverted and are sometimes kind of done with peer interaction by the time the evening or weekend rolls around.  So, I think that he probably needs a peer group where there are also a fair number of more extroverted kids who are going to want interactions outside of school. Does anyone know how that balance is at Nora?[/quote]

My autistic kid loves to do these things too, although doesn't always know how to initiate it. So if our kids are in school together, I hope he extends invitations.[/quote]
