OP, I think you are not being straight with us. Otherwise, there is nothing in the above description that would make anyone diagnose your child as autistic. So either tell us the truth, or go ahead and apply to any private school.

They have made autism a very broad diagnosis so it can look very different depending on the child. We have a diagnosis. [b]It makes no sense to me [/b]but it does to the doc who spend that 15 minutes with him. I do not see what is wrong with quirky kids. [/quote]

If this is the case, then you need to go back to the doctor and get more information about why he gave the diagnosis.(Also, there must be a reason you went to this doctor in the first place...I think there are some details you are leaving out).

Thanks.  I stopped caring long ago as he is the only way to get speech therapy paid for.  He is not interested in what we have to saw, nor the school or speech pathologist.  we have to go to who our insurance tells us to, good or bad.  The autism label pays for services.  But, I get where op is coming from as my child is doing much better in a regular classroom than he was last year in a special needs preschool.  The difference is huge but it also could be a growth thing too. [/quote]
