Dulwich College and neurodiverse/quirky kids

Does know anything about Dulwich College and neurodiversity and/or general quirkiness? We are thinking of it for our probably but undiagnosed ASD child with slow processing (the SP is diagnosed) but really want to make sure it’s a supportive environment for deep thinking children who thrive so much more with the right scaffolding and not just schools hellbent on cookie cutter achievement…

And sorry, I meant to say - I do know that neurodiverse and quirky are not necessarily the same! Just covering a few bases with my question!

I can't speak to any inyear experience just yet. But I'd describe my son as quirky. I thought this might be what held him back from winning a place (specifically at the interview stage).
He was successful and when we went to the offer holders tour this spring all the other boys seemed to be of a similar ilk.

From forums I expected it to be a lot of uber confident sporty boys (dare I invoke the hoorah henry trope). But the opposite was true.
