  • Also, are there are mainstream schools with ASC units in your area?  They are not always advertised as being in existence.  You can apply for a place for him in an ASC unit and he would integrate part of the time into the mainstream part of the school.  They may want a statement as well as a diagnosis though, so if you apply/appeal for the statement you can name the ASC unit on the statement.

    If he is high-functioning a special school would likely not be for him.

    There are a variety of schools specially for high-functioning children around the country, look up The Cambrian Group and the NAS has some schools too I believe.
