[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Regardless, they are unlikely to offer you self-contained so the bigger issue is how can he be appropriately supported now. But also -- no decision you make now will set him on one specific trajectory or make other paths impossible. It just isn't like that. The whole thing with ASD is that the path has a lot of sharp zigs and zags, and is more unpredictable than you would think. I'd focus on what will get you and your child through this year, month, week. You'll deal with the future when it comes.[/quote] This. Also remember that learning can only happen in an optimal environment. If the OP’s child is struggling that much his mental energy is probably diverted to coping with stress and distractions rather than focusing on learning. So he might get behind academically regardless. Thus, a less chaotic environment like the self-contained classroom might not be such a bad idea.[/quote]
