[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hope so.  ASD is a big spectrum.   His father and grandfather and great grand.... All did and went to the same Ivy League school.  Father and grandfather would have gotten an ASD diagnosis if they were kids now.  Don't know about great grand.   In fact, lots of people speculate that Hans Asperger had many of the same namesake traits he is famous for first describing.[/quote]

They all attended elite private prep schools including New England boarding schools.  We expect to do the same with DS since he has no academic or behavior issues and mostly needs small class size with high academic content but we will move close to the boarding school but plan on DS boarding.  We have other family members (with possible ASD) who did not go to boarding school but went to elite private day schools who did very well and went on to college.

How does his ASD manifest, if he has no academic or behavior issues? I have an ASD child in a mainstream private, but there are plenty of ways his social communications deficits impact his academics and behavior, even if they aren't the root issue, so to speak. Am wondering if your child is similar or different.[/quote]
