No. better schools to look at would be kingsbury, Siena, Maddux (if young) commonwealth, and auburn.
Not sure if Siena would be a fit. Siena is very focused on kids who are "bright, college bound students challenged by a language-based learning difference". Because many kids with language-based LDs also have other issues like ADHD and executive dysfunction, Siena can also address some of those issues but it's not their primary mission. While many kids with an autism or Asperger's diagnosis have some language problems, my impression is that the kind of language problems typically experienced by a child with Aspergers are not that similar to those typical of dyslexia or dysgraphia or problems with fluency or reading comprehension.
I'm no expert in Asperger's, so I definitely encourage you to check with the school directly.
