[quote=Anonymous]I don't know the Waldorf schools in this area well, but in general I think that Waldorf and Aspergers is a bad fit. Waldorf strongly discourages early reading, and the use of technology, both areas in which kids with Aspergers often do well. It places a lot of emphasis on fine motor skills and pretend play, which are often weaknesses for kids with Aspergers. On top of that many Waldorf schools have a reputation for very loose structure, which is generally a bad fit for kids with Aspergers. I agree that public school is a good place to start. You'll have access to far more supports, and a more differentiated curriculum. In addition, in private schools you often have a choice between progressive schools, which often have very loose structure, and more traditional schools which have a tight structure, but often aren't forgiving of students who need support to acclimate to that structure.[/quote]
