[quote=Anonymous]I have a DS entering 4th grade next year and it's been suggested by our doc that we might want to look at Auburn for him, though doc says he may be a little more "mainstream" than many of the students currently enrolled at Auburn.  He has a pretty major case of ADHD (taking meds for it, which controls it somewhat well) and definitely needs help with organization, putting more than minimal effort into a task, etc. At times, he can be a class clown type, which can lend itself to disruptiveness. He's very bright, but the ADHD really hinders his focus, academic conscientiousness, etc. He's surviving fairly well at public school, but a smaller, more nurturing environment would surely benefit him. I have a feeling the parents on this board get what I'm talking about!

My question is for anyone with knowledge about Auburn: would he be a good candidate for the program there? He does not have Asperger's or HFA. He's somewhat quirky socially, but not in a major-league way; he's not sportsy and is really great with computers, so finding like-minded kids would be nice, but he can definitely pick up some not-so-desireable behaviors if in a peer group with lots of behavioral challenges.
