[QUOTE="MyFriendKita, post: 290821, member: 4888"] One of my son's friends went to Job Corps near where we live (central Indiana), as did one of my nieces. I don't know if they're all alike, but I would not send a kid with Aspergers to this one. I wouldn't send any kid who isn't street tough and street smart to this one, including my own son (he's bipolar). D (my son's friend) was beaten up, and he said it was no big deal, it happens to everyone there, kind of like an initiation ritual. My niece had a drug problem, and was able to continue using while there. D failed drug tests for using pot while there, but nothing much ever happened (I think they put him on restriction). There doesn't seem to be a lot of supervision for the level of problem kids they have. I'll ask my son for more info, but from what I know about this one, I wouldn't recommend it. [/QUOTE]
