[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]

Because they got in before they were diagnosed and then were deemed not to be too problematic. Otherwise they would have been counseled out. I say this as a parent of an ASD kid who has also worked in multiple independent schools that have some ASD children. It is a completely different thing to get a diagnosis AFTER you’re already part of a school community, rather than to go through the admissions process with that diagnosis. [/quote]
