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.

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?

Looking for a high school for teenager with autism

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".

Any advice on what should be our strategy toward this problem?

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.
