cmguy I've wondered about this a bit. At his old MDO he actually happened to be in with a bunch of kids that were about a year older than him and he did talk about those kids a lot and seemed to play with a larger variety of them. It's hard to tell though, because the structure of the class is also a bit different. I feel like his current teacher has a better 'read' on him and is a bit more involved but maybe he did enjoy playing with the other kids a bit more. Then again, he'd known them for several months by the time we left.
