[quote=Anonymous]I feel for you OP. At that age, we had to use some pricey special needs camps with terrible commutes. A little later we found that multi activity camps (vs a single sport) worked better to keep DCs attention through the day. Our feeling was that camps receiving federal funding (ie through a university) or sponsored by a religious org were a little more understanding on average, but I'm sure those need to be evaluated individually. We shifted our work schedules with one of us dropping off and the other picking up so we didn't have to use late care. We also switched camps every week so if we'd worn out our welcome by Thursday they usually let us finish the week. Often they didn't ask us to go, but obviously were relieved that we wouldn't be back the next week (they were often nice people but in over their heads). Good luck. For us, things did get better by late ES, but I'm sure that seems a long way away (ours is both ADHD and ASD). Overall I'm glad we kept trying since we feel like the social experience did benefit DC over time, but YMMV. [/quote]
