Hi 2ppaamm, I have a similar son, but he is only 7. We are very lucky that he is now in a school for the gifted. Before attending his current school, the teachers only saw his autism and not his gifted-ness. Your son's scores show that he is extremely gifted and he would be thrwarted and miserable in a school for kids with autism. (My son attended such a school when he was younger and while it was good for him at a young age, it would not be appropriate for a highly gifted elementary school age kid.)

It does sound like your son needs outside therapy to help his behavior in class. But you need teachers and/or a school that understands that his scores show he IS highly gifted, yet also has Asperger's and requires accommodations. Does he get any therapy now?
