Really promoting ASD to go special needs school.. Maybe it's really a best fit..
In fact, most of the publication or educational material tried to 'promote' special need school. I also got the impression that the materials imply that parents who insist for their kids to be in mainstream are either in denial of their kids condition or too concern about the 'face value' and are doing more harm to our kids then helping them. This is something which I'm not happy about.
Actually, there is no perfect choice for our kids. If I have sent him to special school, the curriculum/teaching method will suit to his needs and he may learn better. The school may also take care of other needs like OT, good work habit and self help skill. I also don't have to worry about potential school bully or problem like being socially awkward. However, one thing which I think special school will have difficulty in providing i.e to learn to integrate into world of NT and learn to deal with others who might not understand his condition. I think we cannot just beg people to understand or show empathy to our kids condition, our kids do have to learn what is accepted by the NT and make effort to fit in.
I wish there is a Pathlight in every single mainstream schools rather then having all kids on the spectrum in one school,separated from other kids. Since this is not possible, we just have weigh the pros and cons and make the decision. We do understand that when we made the choice for mainstream, we, as parent or caregiver, must put in lots of effort to source for additional help (like OT, SLT, behavior management etc outside schools) in order to help him to cope with school -

I am with you on this. I also feel that no doubt special school will benefit them more in terms of pace and environment, but they are still not integrate to the NT world. That is why I want my boy to go to NT school.
I feel the earlier he get used and learn how to manage NT World, the better it is for him. -

we should expose them to harsh reality in order to train them to adapt and integrate into society because one day we will leave them.... -
Agree, if our kid are not the severe kind and hv so far able to survive mainstream cc or kindy, we should continue to send them to mainstream Pri to let them try. Is not about face value or we are in denial, we just hv to let them try unless they hv proved that they can’t fit at all or are not learning, then we can send the kids back to special schs.
