[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD was diagnosed at 14. She is in a mainstream private with smaller classes that is more accepting of quirky kids. Because your son is being diagnosed this late, I assume he also could do well at a mainstream private known for quirky kids. Burke and Field are two that could work. We know students on the spectrum at Good Counsel’s Ryken Studies Program and GW Community School. St. John’s Benilde Program is also mentioned with Ryken on this board.[/quote] My dd with Autism applied to St. John's Benilde program but, the admissions person said it would not be a good fit. Have you tried PEERS with Dr. David Black? That is the one social program that made an impact. It didn't transform her to being neurotypical but, she can do a lot of things that she couldn't.[/quote] We had a similar experience with PEERs with Dr. Black.[/quote]
