[quote=Anonymous]We have a kid currently in middle school who sounds fairly similar. He is at his second public middle school. Last year he went to our neighborhood school. It was not the disaster I had feared. The wider group of kids got him away from the kids from his elementary schoo and helped him have a fresh start. We were proactive with teachers but slowly his school work went off the rails and then he had a few incidents of acting out in school. For this year, we switched him to a special autism program at another public middle school. He is in general ed or co-taught classy but has social skills and executive function classes within the program. He also has a case manager who helps with communication serves as his go to person for issues at school. I would suggest at least talking to your middle school ( or the central office) about what programs and support they have for kids like your son. That said, if we could find an affordable private school that would accept our kid within a reasonable commute, we would probably go private. [/quote]
