[QUOTE="SRL, post: 44161, member: 701"] Good. The reschedule will buy you some time to do some more homework. Wrong Planet is the probably the biggest Asperger's site online today. Management of the site as well as most of the forum participants are individuals with AS so it has a different twist to it than than those with a clinical or parental flavor: [url]http://www.wrongplanet.net/[/url] I had one of those kids that looked like Einstein Jr. when he was 4 and 5. We were in the midst of the evaluation process when kindergarten was supposed to start for him and given that and social/emotional delays I opted to hold him back. I took a lot of flak for it and got into a heated argument with one of the professionals doing the assessment. He was pretty bored early on but it took so much more for him to maintain in a classroom setting than a neurotypical kid that I was glad to give him that academic advantage. As he's gotten older his interests have become more in line with his peers and he's a solid student, not a brilliant student. Has the school set him up with an Alphasmart keyboard or offered handwriting in Occupational Therapist (OT) if he's resisting writing tasks? You may want to push for an IEP instead of a 504 plan and get social skills training built into his schedule. This is done by the Speech Language Pathologist (SLP)'s, social workers, and/or classroom teachers and can be very helpful if done at early ages. [/QUOTE]
