[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd advise getting a great private psychologist for the child (if you don't already have one) to work on social skills and then finding a small and nurturing school with a kind atmosphere. I don't think any of the schools' "social curriculum" are going to be enough to truly help a kid who needs special help and I would focus on kindness instead and do the skill-building outside of school. I speak as a parent of a child with Aspergers at a private school. [/quote]

Would you mind sharing the kind and nurturing school you found? Thanks. [/quote]

I'm not in the area anymore, but I would focus on small schools. I don't think having a social curriculum matters nearly as much as the school's atmosphere. One of my children goes to a larger school with a touted social curriculum, and my experience is that the social curriculum is much more about managing the behavior of the class as a whole by working on cooperation, self-control, and focus rather than about helping individual children to negotiate social interactions more successfully.
