[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do people hate private for asd kids so much? I’ve seen some go to private schools just fine genuinely wondering.[/quote]

The reality is that very few children with ASD thrive in a mainstream private setting with little or no support. 
Private schools promise a lot and deliver very little. They accept students knowing they have ASD only to counsel them out and as soon as they show autistic symptoms.
If a child with asd could be symptoms free all the time they wouldn’t be autistic to begin with. 
Can you understand now why we are so angry? [/quote]
Then why do I know people with asd kids in the dc area, and outside of it, who have had kids go to private schools k-12? Again really wondering.[/quote]

You are either very thick or a troll. That’s probably why you don’t get it?[/quote]
Not a troll I’ve really seen it.[/quote]
As someone who’s also seen it, those kids are very HFA more than likely that’s why it’s uncommon. They’re the exception not the rule, hope that answers your question.[/quote]

Even my kid with very HFA likely would not get into any mainstream private except perhaps the very most progressive (which I would not want him to attend anyway). He has had behavior issues at school in the past (gone now) and presents as autistic (stims, monotone). They do not accept kids like that even when, as for my kid, they can do the academic work and even participate socially well. [/quote]
