[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And what about the wandering and needing lots of redirection and prompting to get work done in class and also his perseverative interest, is that Aspergers??[/quote]

That is part of Aspergers.  The rigidity (always having to be right), problems with transitions.  Many AD kids have difficulty with executive functioning according to DS's neuropsych and having problems with self control, impulsivity/delayed gratification, ability to deal with frustration and boredom can and will affect academic outcome matter how bright the child.  She, like our developmental pediatrician, suggested a small nurturing mainstream private school for DS while the developmental pediatrician suggested Auburn.

So far with DS's IEP in place, DS is doing great.  Does not wander, has friends, is fully engaged and participates iclark activities.  He has no behavior issues and is genuinely liked and supported by his teachers and staff.  If I felt DS was not being supported and liked by his teachers, I would feel the school was a bad fit and would move him.[/quote]
