They supposedly differentiate in the classroom, but the teacher's efforts are weak at best. When DS acts out from boredom or frustration, he is punished and punished and punished. Your school sounds much better than ours. We are going through hell.

Advocating with Aspies is very challenging and complex, I've been there. I hope you find something that will work for your DS.
