[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 201842, member: 1550"] If it makes you feel any better, I am convinced CONVINCED that the reason my fifteen year old Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) son is doing so well now is because he started out in a small classroom in Special Education and was only barely mainstreamed. THere were about ten kids in his early classes. He got so much attention and, since he was bright, he really learned from the teacher and his aid and made invaluable friendships that he still has, even though he has been mainstreamed. I never tried to put him in mainstream school before he was ready. I thought it was better to go slow with him. It has paid off big time. He has a nice circle of friends, a girlfriend (and he's on the autism spectrum) and I expect him to do well in a two year college. Some of our kids need to work up to mainstreaming. I don't think they should be pushed. Good luck to Sammy in his new setting :) [/QUOTE]
