[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the person with the happy ending who did lots of social work early on, where did you find the best social supports to be. I am desperate for something her. My ds is in a mainstream oublic but really needs private for high school in dc and I really would love to do a couple years of social support therapies before then.[/quote]

Are you in MC?  MCPS has an excellent Aspergers program at Tilden and Walter Johnson.  And, if you see these kids around the school and wile mainstreamed you would not know that many are on the spectrum.

We have one child at a Big 3, but have kept our mildly on the spectrum daughter in MCPS because we have found that they ahve the personnel, time, and special programs that work for her.  After a frank talk with admissions at our Big 3, we jointly concluded that although she would be able to function there with some extra support, the public school option was best for her. On thing is that people with autism are now beginning to assert that their way of thinking is different but not a disability.  They have chat groups and blogs about this. So being in a program with her peers is very important.[/quote]
