[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do wonder how gifted, higher-functioning ASD kids feel about special needs schools and autism schools. I wonder if some feel that the social dynamics are even worse, and how those kids fare there if the peer group is lower functioning.[/quote] You are being so, so ableist here. You are describing my child at Harbour School. She loves it there. She has a peer group, and then yes, there are kids with higher support needs, too. The social dynamics are not worse at all. They're a million times better. Because all kids have different needs. They love their classmates w/ higher support needs. Whereas at public school the typical kids bullied the autistic kids. My kid was in tears daily. She won't treat kids with higher support needs the way her typical peers treated her. [/quote]
