[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is lovely and yes will make it through the interview. Like I said, no behavioral issues, no academic issues... Just has trouble making friends but is very eager and social and we'd prefer a middle school environment that could support this without a classroom full of quirky kids.[/quote]

Either you have the wrong diagnosis and your child is not on the spectrum....or you're kidding yourself and he actually does have behavioral issues that you're in denial about.  What you described is not and ASD kid.  At least not based on the little info you provided.

all that said, if he truly is as you described - then any school would welcome him. The "normal privates" don't need to know a psych assessment just an educational assessment.   [/quote]

Not wrong diagnosis.  DS just had a full neuropsych and he is definitely on the spectrum.  Scored 95%+ in all academic/processing speed/etc and the bottom 5% in all social skills/ pragmatic areas.  No learning disabilities other than social deficits.

He has two cousins who are similar who also do great academically at mainstream schools.  No behavioral issues either.

DH, his father and brother who may get a similar diagnosis all went to mainstream private schools and did well - good enough to go to an Ivy and major in Philosophy (no problems with abstract ideas).   Basically all they needed were small class size.

We will apply to all boys private schools out of the area.
