[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's really terrible that there are no good options for autistic students who are more or less on grade level and behaviorally in control, but who need social and social/emotional support.[/quote]

Kids like this will do fine at a mainstream private school.  DS attended Auburn for a year but we pulled him out because the academics was subpar.  It didn’t help that the English teacher appeared not to know English, his writing including progress reports and emails were full of grammatical errors.

The social emotional supports which is why we sent DS there weren’t so great either.  In fact, the social dynamics in my son’s class actually made his behavior worse:  the school was obsessed with banning certain YouTube channels when DS was there - even talking about it at school which was ridiculous.

DS with ASD/ADHD doesn’t need academic or executive functioning supports or accommodations.  He just needs small class size so a mainstream private school with rigorous academics works much better and is a very better fit.  DS’s social communication skills will never be great but academically he shines so better to focus on his strengths.  Also, past elementary school most schools are not good at social/emotional support including Auburn.
