[quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't send an autistic kid unless he was blow the doors off intelligent and effected in a very minor way. I think autism specifically is a disability where you are better off not pushing any academic limits, for the odd reason that it isn't the academics that's going to be limiting, but everything else. Less time doing homework -- because he can handle it at a less intense school more easily -- means more time socializing, working on sports/coordination, etc. Being one of the brighter ones in a class opens doors in high school, as well as college, that would remain shut to an autistic kid who was average.[/quote]
