We are currently looking at moving from Boston to Rancho Santa Fe, Del Mar or other surrounding coastal San Diego communities. I have a 6-year-old son with high functioning autism who will be entering 2nd grade when we move in 2018. Does anyone have experience with how inclusive (or not) these schools tend to be?

I missed a point in my reply. Rancho Santa Fe county (which seems to be independently managed county) doesn't have special preschool in their school district. So kids are sent to neighboring areas… read more
Any kids with ASD in a good middle school in Nashville, TN? My son has one more year at his wonderful elementary school and I'm not sure where to go from here.
Jill, did you search in "Provider Directory" or "Find Parents" tabs for schools or parents in your area? My experience was the school became ready to talk a few months before the actual transition.

Moving to South Bay (California). Does anyone know which school districts are most receptive to high functioning kids on the spectrum. Moved from Maryland, which was a battle to Kansas, whose school district was awesome. Thanks.
Thank you! This is so helpful!
Hi! Can anyone please recommend a book similar to Clementine for my son? His SLP suggested Clementine but she thought it would be a good idea if the protagonist is a boy, either elementary school or middle school age. He is almost finished with Bat And The End Of Everything. Thanks in advance.
