To wonder if there's anywhere I can send him?

[AspieHow]

Some details changed as outing.

My DS is 2, and has been diagnosed as having level 1 autism (what would have previously been called Asperger's syndrome, or High functioning Autism). He is bright (meeting all the cognitive and motor milestones expected of children over a year older than him), but is shy and not very good with people. Next year he will go to school nursery, so I need to figure out which school I want to send him to.

I myself have Asperger's syndrome/'mild' autism, as do many of my friends. Myself and the other autistics all either went to mainstream or private school for primary, and without exception all of us were bullied.

I've heard mention of Montessori and Steiner schools, but don't know much about them. My boy is too academic to go to a special school (my friend who teaches at one assures me that he would be bored senseless), but equally I don't want him being bullied the way I (and every other autistic person I know) was.

Where should I send him?

We are near Burton Green. The local special schools seem to be geared towards behavioural problems and learning difficulties, which DS does not have

If this is the Burton Green in Warwickshire (I had to Google) this is the list from Warwickshire's website for SEN schools. There seems to be several (although it doesn't say if the are primary or secondary).
