When our local gifted school (only one in South Africa) wasn't working for our oldest we switched to home/un schooling (we turned down an offered grade skip from K to 1st). He also has sensory issues, auditory processing issues, high anxiety and major perfectionism.

It worked so well that 5 months later we pulled the younger child as well from pre school and I am SO glad now that we did - although he has none of the sensory issues, he does display some autistic signs (never tested) and is an introvert and a higher LOG than his older brother... Would have been a nightmare trying to fight for necessary accommodations!
