[quote=Anonymous]I have a college student with ASD. The early years in school were so hard! My heart goes out to you all. I doubt they will move him to a self-contained classroom (the pp has it exactly right, the problem is schools give too few supports, not too many) but if for some reason it became an option, I would urge you to open your mind to considering it. Go visit. Kids can be in self-contained and later move to gen ed (I have a friend whose very bright child is doing well in high school in honors after spending elementary years in a self-contained class). It doesn't mean the kid will always be in self-contained. My experience is that when a classroom isn't working for a child it has a traumatic effect on the child, and honestly it is very hard on the parents too. [/quote]
