[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 403421, member: 3493"] We haven't had to deal with placements other than considering sped/alternative schools, but H was such a problem. Our oldest was diagnosis'ed with mild AS in grade 8 (changed from ADD inattentive/possible NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) later discounted as he has excellent scores on executive functioning). I wanted to put him in a sped HS that had a program for gifted Aspies. H fought me so hard throughout son's freshman year. Son had 2 friends that whole year. One is probably Aspie, very high-functioning and is at an Ivy now, the other also very bright but very troubled, died last year of a drug overdose. Anyway, after my son threatened to kill himself, H agreed to switch him. Shortly after that, H convinced a friend of ours to send her son there and, of course, it was all HIS idea to send our son there in the first place. With difficult child, we looked at a sped middle school which I found. I wasn't serious about sending difficult child there because the academics would not have challenged him, but H was violently opposed to it. We didn't send him there but again it was H who pulled the plug on the idea because HE decided that forcing the regular school to put difficult child in honors and accelerated classes would be better and, again, that was my idea. Same thing with sending dyslexic easy child out of district for middle school and bringing him back for HS, both were HIS ideas after he fought me to heck and back against first sending him and then bringing him back. I even had this battle with him over college for my daughter. He only wanted to allow her to apply to schools that he could drive to in under 2 hours (primarily, his alma mater, which is an excellent school but doesn't have an education department and that's what she's majoring in). She's a 6 hour drive away and to hear him tell it, he picked the school and encouraged her to go there over my objections. I guess the key to the placement with H's like these is to let them think that they've come up with the solution. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
