[QUOTE="1 Day At a Time, post: 164130, member: 3704"] Many congrats to you and difficult child! Enjoy the good times. You both deserve to be proud for making it through the hard times of middle school. Much credit especially goes to you, Warrior Mom... I predict difficult child will love high school. Our difficult child , who rarely has anything good to say about school , commented about how much better high school was than middle school only one week into his first semester. His high school has around 400 students total, and I can tell you that a small school is really a good thing for a difficult child. The classes are all very small (around 15 students or less) and everyone knows everyone at the school (for better or worse)...The only problem we have seen in the three years that he has attended there is that there isn't quite the range of courses to choose from - but they allow independent study to make up for that lack. We also accelerated difficult child at the strong recommendations of his teachers at the time (back in elementary school). Of course, hindsight is 20/20 - and we now know we should have considered the maturity problems later on. I don't really think that this has added any layers to our difficult child's social problems though - with his Asperger's it's hard to tell. I do know that as he ages and matures this issue will resolve itself - so hang in there, and enjoy the wonderful Summer! [/QUOTE]
