      Personally, the country should be providing an appropriate education or training at NO additional cost to her citizens up to the age of 16, or even 18. This is the very least it can do for every citizen. Why should SPED be charged differently?
      I thought of so many ways I can reply you but none of it is suitable to be printed in a family forum like this so I will just give you the standard reply. LPPL lor.

        I may just push boy into mainstream school and spend the money for one-to-one tuition for him. Be very thick skin, no matter what the school says, \"pa si buay zhao\". :nunchuk:

        LoL! Pa si buay zhao! But I recommend you be smart about it. If the state is not going to help you (much), you might as well go the SPED path and when he turns 18, claim that he will shoot friendlies when he tantrums. They might exempt him from NS!

        You mean they are not exempted from ns?!

            I believe our Special kids have a choice to join NS or not. But even if they join, they will do clerical work and no need to go IPPT.

              Geez, I hope my boys can qualify for NS when the time comes and that they go through the full experience however tough. In fact if Forrest Gump is to be believed, they would make excellent soldiers coz they are regimented, routine-based and OCD. :salute:

                If I am not wrong, I think there is no exemption from NS for HF ASD. And most of them will need to go through 3 months of BMT.

                The ride to Tekong is inevitable. However after 3 months, maybe got chance to do clerical work.

                I think people who are totally exempted are
                - Very Low IQ
                - Disabled
                - Paralysed
                - Congenital deformities

                I know of people who have hole in a heart (Congenital deformities) still need to go NS. But no BMT. Just do clerical work directly.
                So is really case by case basis.

                    Your son still has about 15 yrs to work on his self-control.

                        A cousin's bunk mate was on spectrum (mild). Only thing I remembered was : no firearms. He mentioned occasionally his mate had episodes when he sees things others can't. Then, another chap mentioned that mate has special eye. 🤷
