[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 227164, member: 1550"] They don't tell anyone that my son is Autistic, and he was in a Special Education class with kids who were all a little different. I don't know any of the diagnoses. All had social skills, life skills, OR academic deficits. He loved that class and was mainstreamed for classes like social studies and science and art etc. He learned a lot from both experiences. His teachers are shocked when I say he's on the autism spectrum (although it's in his IEP--I guess they can't remember all the kids). They always say "Oh, I thought he was just ADHD, I'd never have guessed." So it isn't shared and I don't think I'd want L. in a class of only autistic kids. The social skills classes are indoctrinated in the regular cirriculum AND the seperate ones include all kids with social skills problems, even some kids from typical classes. When he turned 12, he suddenly leapt ahead in social skills in a way we never dreamed. He also had the opportunity of learning how to take notes (his aide taught him) and to work at his own pace academically. Before he went to high school, his IEP was changed to Learning Disability (LD) only. He is doing fine in just Learning Disability (LD) classes. He still gets social skills classes and life skills. He loves school and often says, "I'd rather be at school then a thome, NO OFFENSE!" lolol. His reason is, "It's boring at home. I miss my friends." [/QUOTE]
