Take a visit. Sometimes the cummulative experience doesn't really match the day to day.

I would cherish the friendships he already has, but I wouldn't limit his educational experience to accomidate them - perhaps one or two of the kids will be inspired to overcome their concerns and follow your son. It's possible.

But it's also possible - at least sometimes - to nurture the friendships with weekend playdates and sleepovers.

It's hard.

Best Wishes,
