[quote=Anonymous]It really depends on how high functioning he is.   Can he pass as typical during the lengthy play date where veteran (IME) early childhood teachers assess him and everyone else, take notes and compare all kids against a checklist?  Because that's what will occur at many of the schools you list.

Similarly, at least two of your schools require the WPPSI and a seasoned psychologist who's seen zillions of same-age kids may decide your son presents in a way consistent with autism and flag that subtly in the report narrative.

Then there's the confidential report from his current school that goes straight to the prospective school. What will they say?  On that note, what type of program IS it? Sped?

I can't speak to all these schools, but thinking of a few plus a few others we applied to, they realize more than you expressly divulge.

Not to mention, on the app there is usually an entry that pointedly asks: "tell us what specialists your child has worked with to date. ".  When you say, oh, our ABA specialist, that kind of says it all.

If you DON'T say, "our (obviously autism related )specialist," then that is lying.  Or at least duping. [/quote]
