[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I would focus on setting your kid up for success.  Maybe intensive ABA therapy for the scratching and running away.  Even a SN preschool would have difficulty managing these behaviors and he' quickly become a pariah at a NT one or likely be kicked out.[/quote]

This is what I'm afraid. I'm afraid DC will be kicked out if DC goes to a regular preschool. Are you saying that even county can kick out a child from their prescool (age 3 and above?)[/quote]

The county won't.  Your kid doesn't sound ready for traditional preschool.  There are limited SN options, especially for a child so young.   Often SN schools try to balance the kids the types of kids they accept in a given class.  A child who elopes will be especially challenging and a private SN school might not accept two kids for example with this profile.

I think your main goal is safety and working on the elopement issue.  The second is the aggression.  For peer interaction, there may be appropriate classes or playdates.  So there are ways to make that happen.  GL.  I hope you find some workable solutions.
