Any recommended high schools (public or private) for kids on the spectrum in the Ashville-Hendersonville, NC area? My son with mild autism will be starting 9th grade next school year and we are considering a move.
Other autism resources in the Ashville-Hendersonville area would also be much appreciated. TIA!
I'm in the same exact situation!! Following
Im new here, I have a 15year old Autistic son heading into high school next year and I am looking for a high school in the San Diego Ca district. Similar to the school he is in now. I was amazed at the K-8 charter school he is in now there is no bullying, most on the spectrum and get along great and feel they fit in. Are there any other parents here that can recommend any high schools similar?
Can you please share which charter k-8 school your son attended? My daughter is in 5th grade in a public school and is really struggling. I'm hoping to find another school. Thank you.
My son will be attending high school next year and I am wondering what questions I should be asking the schools when I tour each one. We have two choices of schools. One is only for autism kids and the other is for many different special needs kids.
My son is 21 and attends our local community college. He's there to get his GED because his high school "decided" to give him a local diploma because they felt he "couldn't do it". Turns out..with alot of support...HE CAN do it.. I am pushing hard to get this GED for him, but Math always sets him back. He can't pass it because the kids have behavioral problems, not special needs. Big difference!! They are all HS dropouts!! Why can't there be a way for my son to get a high school diploma without… read more

My 7-year-old autistic son is high-functioning and goes to grade 1 in a regular school and regular class. He has some challenges with paying attention, sitting, and following some rules but he is doing well academically. His teacher has told us we should consider sending him to special classes in other schools. We feel that the teacher's advice is mostly for her comfort rather than the benefit of our child. Any advice on what should be our strategy toward this problem?
My son attends regular school, but he has a IEP (Individualized Education Plan) & other support/resources available for him. I think if the school can't accommodate your son's needs then consider… read more
When my daughter was recently diagnosed with autism I forgot to ask the doctor this question. I'm just curious to know if she also has intellectual disability. I'm a little confused.

Hello. My autistic son turned 7 and I know he’s supposed to start school. The schools in our area do not have enough support/resource for him. He was referred to a private school for autism but he is on the waiting list and 4th in that list. They said realistically it may take 4 years to make it to the top of the list. What do we do in the meantime? If he can’t start school until years later, how will he be at “grade level”? Also, how does grade level and state testing work with children who… read more
