Mainstream or pathlight. U are considered very lucky already since likely yours is high functioning.
Thanks for the video! My son isn't a genius, he just likes to memorize science facts. He makes me frustrated so often. Argh! -
helplessmum3:
go for Mainstream, as yours is high functioning.
What if child with mild & high iq, where is suitable for them?
have another friend whose daughter is mild autistic.
She's now in Upper primary, coping & studying well.
If her mum didn't tell me she's austistic, one would never suspect that she's one. The girl speaks fluently, speak / write good English.
When she saw me the other day, she said this, \"hi Auntie, Oh Yes! i remembered you. You came to my house a few times when i was a little girl.\" When i read some of her essays her mum show me, they were well written.
i asked her mother, \"Why you said she's autistic ? She looks perfectly all right to me!\" Her mom replied, \"Intellectually, she's fine. But emotionally, she's cold. The spectrum of autism is very wide.\"
in this unique case, both parents are doctors. -

Yes, helplessmum, your case is lucky - as yours is high functioning.helplessmum3:

Mainstream or Pathlight. U are considered very lucky already since likely yours is high functioning.
my friend's case I told you about ... wasn't so lucky. She told me she cried buckets of tears when she realized her son like this. She said but still is her son. No matter what, she had to accept his condition, & give him the best education she & her husband could best afford.
my friend likes Rainbow (Yishun). The class size very small - max only 6 kids, so good attention given to the kids. And school fees reasonable, unlike Pathlight charging $500 per month, which my friend can't afford.
In Mainstream primary school(s), she said you can never find max 6 kids per class. Over there, the norm is 30 kids per P1 class. When reach P4, they re-org, become 40 kids per class. -

devasting... .. how i wish there a machine to scan ASD brain, to see which area they are disconnected in their brain, rather then keep saying Spetrum is wide...

each day i see my son is trying so hard, its sooo hurtful.. is not that he dont want, he jus cannot... -
Take it easy, I see that my son struggle in Mainstream too. Not only that, I can also see that his classmates discrimnate him. For the best of his interests, I think its best for us to take a step back, and put him in a special school where the pace is slower.
-
Helplessmum if he is frustrated doing things that he cannot cope at this juncture, would it be good to consider stepping back in terms of the pace and level? Let him take the lead in terms of the pace. He is still young and there is still quite a big window.
Jmho. -
lucky?.. trying to count my blessing… while standing by for any fall back.

ImMeeMee,
I once saw something that we cannot hav low expectation for them.
Also early intervention mus be as young as possible
