[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here - thanks, I'm not trying to be overly sensitive. It's just tough to hear, oh no! Not those issues, shudder! Yes, behavior is part of it for him. He has epilepsy and that is a pretty common profile for people with his type of epilepsy. We are hopeful it calms down with the medication but we are slowly titrating to a working dose of the epilepsy medicine. He hasn't qualified for child find the last few times so he is kind of an enigma. Hard but in different ways. It's a struggle. [/quote]

OP, I would be concerned about medical care at some of these private schools and would wonder if public would be better if they have a nurse on site.  My kid was having some small seizures, including one when I picked him up.  We don't know why it was happening and it only lasted a few months and seemed to stop.  School was pretty dismissive but one teacher thought she saw something and ever said anything or called to come get him.  Most are not equipped to deal with seizures.  I'd also be concerned about some of the privates as if you have to change medications/have more behavioral issues, will they kick him out vs. working with you to get the medications right.[/quote]
