[quote=Anonymous]Our DC is mildly on the spectrum and generally comes off as more clueless, uncool and naive than clearly AS. He's kind and trusting and incredibly social but has very few friends, and certainly none that regularly contact him for anything. He's an average student but is extraordinarily gifted in and loves music. There's a good chance he could get into a top-notch music program, and although this is still a couple of years away, DH and I are worried about letting him go away to college. We're afraid he might get very lonely and/or get taken advantage of. OTOH (according to a couple of teachers who've dealt with him) there is no program available locally that would do justice to his musical ability. Wondering how other parents of Aspie kids have dealt with the decision to send their child away, or not.[/quote]
