Sounds like a very smart kid.[/quote]

OP here.  You are correct.  We can't do it for him, but we want him to have the tools for doing it himself.[/quote]
If you think your boy hasn't already been given enough "tools" or the "right" tools, you're the one who needs help. At some point, you have to accept your child is separate from you. Your goals are not HIS goals, not now anyways. 
What does HE want to do, OP?[/quote]

He's in 9th grade.  Giving your child, especially a child with a disability, the tools for adulthood is a process that, at a bare minimum, should last throughout high school.

I have friends who have been very happy with the education and level of supervision that their kids are getting at Landmark (the High School, not the college) and Eagle Hill (the one in Massachusetts, not the one in Connecticut).

If you think he'd benefit from a shorter term experience, I also know someone who was very happy with the summer program at Landmark College, although I think you need to be a sophomore to apply.[/quote]
