Hello,
My DS is 13, entering year 9. He has Asperger's and ADHD. Very bright with above average IQ. His only behavioral problems are silliness, hyperactivity, and basically being annoying. He has no anger or mean or violent behaviors at all. He was at Stanbridge, and for obvious reasons, we are having to move him. We visited Swalcliffe in Banbury last week and were pretty impressed, but I want to check some other schools out as well. We are Americans who live in west central Africa for the next few years. What I am looking for is a boarding school that specializes in Asperger's and/or Autism Spectrum Disorders but that are high functioning, above average IQ students with no violent behaviors.
Can anyone give me any recommendations?
Also, can anyone give me any personal opinions regarding Swalcliffe School?
Thank you so much! It was stressful enough with the whole Stanbridge situation, and I am hoping to minimize the stress for my DS in looking for and starting a new school.
BTW, we are privately funded with my husband's employer, since they denied him entrance to their school, so we don't need to go through the LA, etc; or worry about financing his education.
Thank you.
Daisee
