Ok, I am going on and on. I think I prefer G&T M, but I think what is giving me pause is that the social worker, DS11's occupational therapist, and even the psych who diagnosed him all think we should focus first and foremost on his social development and Asperger's issues.
...
I wonder if they are right, or if they really do not understand the frustrations of a HG/PG kid in regular school. The principal at his current school said she thinks G&T would be the best place for him.
They may be right, but it is almost certain that they are totally clueless about what it's like to be HG/PG without educational accomidations. So I'd be careful about letting them sway you. (And can't you always change next year to Cozy if need be?)
Am I being too heartless about the special pains of middle school, not fitting in?
The Super G&T school, on the other hand, certainly appears to understand their former students who have AS. I like the point that each child with AS is different. Seriously, isn't your son more likely to find friends at the Super G&T school, since they are more likely to have similar interests?
Where is that 'Answer book?' when we need it?
Hugs and more Hugs,
Grinity
