[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Basically I believe in inclusive environments. My kid has a lot to offer and shouldn't be relegated to a SN school because she has this specific challenge but is otherwise a great commu ity member. You can't attack me for that. Well you can but I'm sticking to it.[/quote]

You haven't answered the question: what kind of social supports?

I have a DS with an ASD who is in a mainstream school. It works for him. But I have no idea if it would work for your DC without more information. "Social supports" is the entire ball game. If he needs this, and a school doesn't provide it, it will be a disaster no matter how well he does academically.

My concern with your posts is (1) the way you insult other kids with ASDs as somehow poisonous. If one of those dreaded schools is where your DC would get what he needs, thats where he should be. And there are plenty of brilliant kids with ASDs in SN schools. (2) It really feels like you are playing hide the ball. Certainly by not answering the question about social supports. And if you approach schools like this you are inviting disaster, even if they did take your DS. They won't, BTW, if they conclude he has greater needs than they can provide for.

So, what kind of social supports does he need?[/quote]
