[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your child will need an autism program with smaller classes (any level of autism including HFA), Montgomery county has the best options. However, if your child will be fully mainstreamed, I wouldn’t recommend.

This is a blatant lie. Moco absolutely does not provide smaller classes for HFA in any shape or form. They push HFA kids into mainstream and then wait to see if they fail badly enough to put them into a different program. There is a lot of gatekeeping and spots are limited in the Aspergers MS program. Furthermore, there is a lot of political activism happening through the school system via budget reshuffling, and some of the previously good ASD programs are being dismantled in the name of equity - see the recent Newsweek piece on Darndestown Learning Center situation. 
 
I bought in Whitman cluster before we knew we will need special education services and if I had to do it again I would buy in Arlington or Fairfax. MCPS is a hot mess.[/quote]
