I think your gut is right. (FWIW...not much!) The school with the drive sounds wonderful! "All our children are GT" is a dead giveaway that your child is not going to be understood. And the chickens and laid-back attitude sound just right for your child as you've described him. Good work there, mom-gut!
Keep us updated on how the year goes. I write in coffee shops and bookstores a lot, so I can tell you that it's not a bad way to work. You just have to keep your grazing and your book-browsing to a minimum or you wind up with a fat rear and a light wallet. Easier said than done, though, when all that good stuff is right there for the purchase!
Best wishes for what sounds like it will be a great year.
