No worries though - the solution seems to be that the child then doesn't belong in the school, or needs to be institutionalized. My SIL was told this about my Asperger's nephew, who, by the way, did so well on state testing he got a full ride to the state school of his choice. In addition, he scored a 5 sophomore year on the history AP exam.

So clearly, the kid is learning - he simply succeeds in SPITE of the school. But according to the school psychologist, since he sits alone at lunch and reads and doesn't have school friends, he needs to be removed and institutionalized. The fact that the kid simply doesn't like the learning and social environment they provide, and flourishes socially outside those four walls, isn't even a consideration. In fact, they never asked. They simply assumed.

Pretty reprehensible. Thank God he only has another 1/2 year - and outside support to hammer on the school. Personally, I would have already hired a lawyer. If this keeps up, it will be my gift to my SIL.
