[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid with ASD/Asperger's  is mainstreamed with an IEP in 2nd grade.  He was diagnosed in preK4.  Attends an immersion language school since preK4.   Has a sky high IQ.  Does well academically and socially with supports.  Has an IEP for social/communication issues.  Gets OT and ST for pragmatics for 1 hr, once a wk.  Has a bilingual Sp Ed teacher in an inclusive classroom who helps him as needed.

DS was described as "classic Aspergers" by his developmental pediatrician but looks/acts NT - you couldn't tell whether he has any diagnosis at all:  Basically just like his father and grandfather.

I don't think you can generalize thus the saying, "If you met one kid with Aspergers, you've met one kid with Aspergers."

Also, DS has cousins, 8 and 10, who also are diagnosed with ASD/Asperger's and have IEPs.  They are both mainstreamed at a public charter that specializes in gifted kids with IQs over 130+ in another city.  His cousins are both nationally ranked in Rubik's cube and chess for their age groups.
