[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 362387, member: 1550"] My Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) son didn't even act out but we chose to put him into self-contained for half the day so he could do his work in a quiet environment...lots of kids and distractions are very hard for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) chidlren. He also got so much 1-1 that his academics skyrocketed, he became a leader in the class, helped others, and his self-esteem really went up as did his social skills. He learned how to transition, take notes, print (he still can't write), keyboard and socialize to the point that he does have friends. He is pretty much mainstreamed now. I think his type of schooling was great for an Aspie. I don't think most do well in regular class all the time. As for the teasing, I am so fortunate. Because our school has Special Education and all the kids are used to the Special Education kids and because they are included in all school functions nobody teases them. In fact, when L. is at school, kids shout "Hi" at him, smile, and give him high 5's. It's a smaller, but public school. The kids may fight amongst each other, but they go out of their way to help all of the kids who are in or have been in special education. They are very kind and helpful to them, especially the girls. I'm very pleased. He nver melts down BUT he had a lot of intervetions early on that really helped him cope. I will miss his school when he graduates, which will be in two years. One last note: I would not and never have put L. into a behaviorally disturbed class or a class just for autistic spectrum kids. The kids were all diverse...some were just slower, some were Aspies, a few were Downs (he loved the one Downs girl and really protected her) and some are brilliant but can not focus (severe ADHD).
