[quote=Anonymous]You can still assume you will apply to colleges. Take a deep breath. It sounds like you may have had a inflated sense of his abilities before. My DS has AS and like many of these kids was an early reader with an amazing memory. However sometimes these kids have trouble making the leap to more abstract thinking. Its so easy to be blinded by their strengths and not see the challenges. It is way too early to be thinking about college, your DS is 8. And by private school testing, you may want to reconsider if you were thinking of the more competitive privates. As always, you need to find the right school for him. You certainly shouldn't be training him for test taking. It sounds like he's doing fine in school, so I don't see why you think he won't go to college. He doesn't do well on tests. That won't keep him from going to college -- there are colleges that don't even take standardized tests.[/quote]
