[quote=Anonymous]I think you and your daughter need to do some real soul-searching about your ableist attitudes.

My dd is disabled, she has an IEP, she is not sad, and she is going to W&M in the fall. She is also kind, creative, smart, and hard-working, and does not think she's too good to share classroom space with kids who are different than she is.

I'm not sure where you think you're going to find a school free of disabled students in 2023. We are long past the point of keeping kids like this locked away from public view. Any top college is going to have kids on the autism spectrum, and the presence of disabled students does not mark a school as "second rate." One of the things she liked about W&M is the emphasis on inclusion--particularly of neurodivergent students: they have a summer bridge program and support groups on campus just for these students, because they believe in them and their ability to succeed with a little extra support.

Unfortunately, my daughter has also had to deal with more than her share of classmates with attitudes like yours. It hurts her, a lot. THAT'S what's sad, in this day and age.
