To think that there should be special schools for severely autisic children who are bright.

[Reallytired]

A lovely little boy who is severely autisic did a trial week at the special school I work at. The problem is that he is far too bright for the particular special school. Yet his language skills are non existant and he would be eaten alive in a mainstream school.

Surely austisic children deserve better provison.

There are some schools and educational programs for children like this in the States - the term they use over there is "twice-exceptional" or "uniquely gifted".
