    That sounds like a reasonable compromise, as long as your son can handle the new class.  You could ask what supports are going to be put in place for him to help him settle into the new class.  I'd also ask for a set of targets - these should be in your son's IEP....so ask them to specify what their objectives are in moving your son into the new class, how progress is going to be measured, by whom and over what timescale.  Plus what is the plan if targets/objectives arent achieved in the given timescale.

    Did you get Parent Partnership involved?  I really do think it would help you if you had someone else with you to help you decide what you want to do and then to go to meetings with you.....it can be intimidating in meetings when there are lots of professionals there - even two can be difficult if you're on your own.  If not Parent Partnership, then perhaps another supportive parent from your local autism support group?
