Wow, I've not posted here for a few years; it's like a blast from the past coming back to read posts!
OK, OK, as for the subject question, I know there aren't any specific ASD mainstream schools in Hertfordshire (lucky us) but I was wondering if anyone could help with some ideas of what schools in county, or just out of county, might be suitable for a very intelligent but not exactly high-functioning girl with autism?! We suspect she has PDA, so her refusal to conform is probably the biggest issue - so sadly I'm not sure any of the private schools are really going to want her. We definitely would not send her to a BESD, but she has no learning disability as such so don't think the MLD schools would be suitable either (though let me know if you think otherwise?).
What we really need is an autism specific free school run by people who actually understand her difficulties... pipe dreams I know. So any suggestions of small schools in or out of county that could cope with a difficult but not violent child who is unlikely to fit into a big mainstream please??
