Josh (who has Asperger's) has been recommended for the Talented and Gifted program at school. I'm thinking about putting him in the program, but I'm not sure. Does anyone have any experience with this? My daughter was in it and did well, but she is "typical" so she doesn't have the issues that Josh does.
