[quote=Anonymous]My child attends a prek-8th that attracts a lot of 4-5 yo ND boys to its pre-K program. My DD started with a few of them and it is great through 2nd grade when peers have a decent amount of patience and kids are at all different levels academically so teachers are adept at adapting the curriculum.

But 3rd and 4th were both very rough for these boys. Two of them are in the midst of being counseled out and there are daily incidents related to misses between where their NT male peers are socially and where they are. These are great, nice boys so it’s hard to hear my DD’s stories after school about the latest misunderstanding. I don’t want to scare you, but as other kids become more socially adept they are like sharks smelling blood in the water and they go after the ND kids first. The ND boys were mellow and nice in early grades, but the repeated misunderstandings and slights changed that over time.

I would seek out a public school with lots of possibilities for diverse friendship groups and similar peers. It would be a friendlier 2e and ND environment.[/quote]
