[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, many of these schools on your list of mainstreams do not want to be known as having kids with asd in attendance. There are parents that send their kids to private to avoid kids with special needs. It’s the truth. They certainly don’t want their names on this list.

How bad is handwriting? If it’s a serious issue, k even at mainstreams is all writing. Huge amounts of it. That’s going to be tough for your kid. If I were you, I’d be trying to set my kid up for success, [b]not just to be able to say oh he’s so mild he’s in a mainstream private! Very bright! Thanks so much for your concern but he’s going to be subclinical in the near future! Which is grating, obviously. [/b]

Also “behaviors” isn’t some strange thing. It means, does your kid not participate unless he is helped? That’s a behavior.

OP, ignore this. We've visited some of the mainstream schools and the administration and teachers are open that they welcome kids with special needs if it is the right fit. I know parents who have kids at McLean and you do not send your kids there if everything is okay. So most of those kids have something going on. They may not have a formal diagnosis but they are usually there because the local public or a more competitive public was not a good place for their child.

You sound very resentful PP. Just because her child is bright and has mild needs doesn't mean you get to belittle her or spread your doomsday scenario. Some kids end up doing okay and they do lose the diagnosis. I have nothing but great hopes for OP's child and you should too even if your own child is not doing as well.[/quote]
