[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Recommendations such as the one you received in the neuropsych report really rub me the wrong way. It’s like “let’s keep all the autistic people together and away from everyone else.” Inclusion and integration can be really good for people with autism. Our child has done best socially when with NT peers. [/quote] I disagree. From the neuropsychologists perspective, parents/kids have probably already tried the NT stuff and the social challenges are partially why they are there being evaluated in the first place. IDK how old your kid is but mine is 15, and the NT friends have pretty much disappeared. Getting the ASD dx when he was 14 was kind of a relief because I knew it might be a ticket into new friendship groups for him. But, I agree that reports could suggest both: ways to form relationships in the ASD community and places that might be inclusive to NT and ND.[/quote]
