[ - ] Anyone have a ds who's in 3rd grade or higher? I'm just wondering how the friendships have worked out- many close friends, just 1 close friend. My ds came home really upset that he had a bad day. It breaks my heart. 5 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

In broad terms if they have intensive, early intervention there are many who mainstream with a few supports. Without support unfortunately prospects get worse as the window on learning begins to close the older they get. [ Reply | More

Even if they have excellent early intervention it's still highly possible to need a more supportive/restrictive school setting. I know a lot of pdd-nos kids at my dc's SN school. [ Reply | More

isn't that what you are paying for? No "report cards" so the kids aren't pressured or feel they have to conform for a grade? And now you want to know how your kid is doing? Just trust them.
