[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lab definitely rejects kids who disclose autism in application process. There are likely many HFA ASD kids there, just diagnosed later or undiagnosed. Heard from a school consultant that McLean is same and not to bother applying.[/quote] This is precisely why I wouldn’t disclose. We all know that there are plenty of students at all these schools (and at non-SN private schools too) with ASD who do just fine. When schools discriminate on the basis of a label without bothering to dig any deeper to figure out whether the student can be successful, they are asking for the omission. As parents, it’s important that we be honest with ourselves about the type of environments in which our kids can be successful. But I sure as hell wouldn’t trust a school to care enough to make that call when it’s so much easier for them just to reject.[/quote]
