Except [b]when you want apply to a school that very clearly states that they don't take children with ASD,[/b] yet you went ahead and allowed the school to add it to your child's IEP and school records so that he could get accommodations!  There is no way in hell I'm allowing any label to be attached to my child and his school records for the next 10 years because "its just a public school label".  [/quote]

Which school would that be?  Feel free to be specific.[/quote]

There are SO many discussions on this board regarding private schools, and the "type of child" or "diagnosis" they absolutely will not take.  Lab and McLean are the first two that come to mind. And just because Lab has removed that language from their website doesn't mean that they don't still follow this practice.  And I am sure that there are many more out there besides Lab and McLean.

McLean absolutely takes kids with ASD (and who disclose the ASD at application).[/quote]
