I have been asking questions about placement for an AS kid in middle school.
Some of the great advice I got was to call the school, explain your son, and see what they would be willing to put in place if he needs it. For example, do they have a counselor that can talk about social skills?
Does he feel anxious about new situations? Will they agree to let him come a few weeks early or the end of the prior year to walk around and acclimate?
Will they make sure he gets placed in classes with several friends, b/c of the social cues issues?
If a girl wrote her phone number on his arm, then I am guessing he at least has personal charisma going for him, and kids might be a little more understanding of social cluelessness!
Good luck!
