[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are the thoughts of not disclosing the diagnose to the private school? Just describe the kid as "need helps with speech, social skills, flexibility, etc." Sometimes the label "autism" lower teacher's expectation and the kid isn't given enough challenge.[/quote] If you're suggesting that your kid needs a shadow, that's pretty much outing your kid. However, if this isn't the OP, when looking at a private school, it's best that you be up front with what your kid's needs and issues are. If you're listing all the things you'd listed above without mentioning ASD specifically, they'd probably put 2 + 2 together in any case. You can also be "counseled out" after you're accepted as well.
