[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP Here. Thank you to all. I have not toured as he is only in third and we are just thinking ahead for next year. On one hand, if he does get in, I will be sad to have him transition out of his elementary school for 5th grade, but on the other, I know he needs a smaller more structured environment. From what I have read here, it may actually be a good fit, as he is the "nerd facts" type of kid, always reading and reciting how far away are the planets, the names of their moons, etc.

Will he be ok studying/memorizing content that he does not like/inst interested in? [/quote]

We call that "school" and "work" and "life". But you do you.[/quote]

I say this all the time, too, (we all have to do things we don’t want to do), but assume this question was more directed toward how a child with ASD may respond to these demands. I don’t know if it is the same, but my ADHD child can do amazing things that require a ton of work, focus, learning and memorization IF it interests him.  If he is not interested, it’s a lot harder to overcome the executive function challenges.  [/quote]
