Jack was accepted into a special school for kids with ASD and has attended for two hours the last two days. I hate the idea of him going here. The kids are all non-verbal and don't even really make sounds - they just seem a lot more severe than Jack.
I also found a lovely mother of 4 that runs a rural Montessori who is actively seeking a child with ASD to further her education - this is a typical setting and I fear sending him here might not give him the specialized help the other school can. But this school has a routine, structure and a normal environment with special attention to Jack.
My god, I've never cried about something seemingly so trivial in my life. What do I do?
I've got a meeting with Montessori tomorrow at noon to check things out -- we will see.
I've also got a meeting request with Jack's teacher at the ASD school to go over the following concerns:
1. How will Jack learn in a non-verbal environment?
2. What example does he have of typical behavior expected at his age?
3. What will they do to help potty train?
4. What therapies will be implemented for speech development?
5. Will they adhere to his diet?
