[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I  have noticed this when touring schools and I agree with you.  My only observation is that sometimes I wish we had an autism dx as I feel that that would sometimes make things easier.  There are so many specialized programs, a state waiver, etc.  [/quote]

You'll appreciate this irony: a friend last year toured Ivymount Asperger's program with her son-who is classic Aspergers. She was told he had too many (autistic) behaviors for their (autism) program.  [/quote]

We were accepted into and then turned down for Ivymount Outreach Unstuck and On Target Saturday social skills class bc they decided on second thought after sending us an acceptance letter that DS's social skills were too poor for the social skills class.  :lol: [/quote]

Ivymount Outreach told us that we should look into the Model Asperger's Program since that program can better meet DS's needs.

DS's behavior and social skills have improved dramatically since then after our public school implemented a behavior plan.  DS had a neuropsych and was also diagnosed with ADHD for which he is now medicated.  We tweaked his IEP so that he gets more social supports in the classroom including the speech therapist pushing in for his pragmatic speech therapy.  Our current public school is a language immersion school and we prefer him sticking with the target language which he has been learning since he was 4.

His school is going to have a classroom with the Unstuck and unstuck social skills curriculum for next year.

DS is doing great now and we will not be changing schools.
