[quote=Anonymous]This is a question that next to nobody on here will be able to answer, as redshirting is so extraordinarily rare. The only kids who are considered for redshirting are kids born between October and December, and even of those kids, less than 1 percent are redshirted. So you're really looking for a needle in a haystack. However, luckily for you, I happen to be one of the few people in the country who was redshirted, and I can relay my parents reasoning to you. My birthday's in the first week of October and wasn't started in K until I was almost 6. The reason my parents have given for doing this is because I have autism. Seeing as how kids with autism usually have above average intelligence, this explanation has always seemed ridiculous to me. I think my parents are the only world who have used this logic. I'd imagine most parents of autistic kids would be more likely to push their kids to start early rather than late, due to their high IQ's.[/quote]
