  • This is a great initiative started in Chicago, called The Red Kite Project. Search it on Youtube or google for info or the documentary film.

  • no no no. I'm an autistic child here and there is no way i'm going in there for

    the rediculous social skill program. I never like being in an autistic school. I always want to go in a normal school and never the SEN (special education needs)

  • yeah like in harbor, only take u for ur money lol,,i have autistic boy 8 years old and if i want the best i have to pay something i cant aford,,thats why i fukn hate this country (of oportunity) my ass, im american and i hate the system full of shit, making wars allover the world spending that money that my autistic son or others can use!!!!!

  • Being an Aspie I like this idea. Besides the peer issues I really think we have very different learning requirements that require heavier concentration than nts and that the educational system would be more efficient by segregating us rather than awkwardly juggling between our needs (or sticking us in with mentally disabled and esentially disinfranchising us).

  • AS are very different, learning in a processional manner were we work on a subject until it (and all within it's perythory) has been completely mastered, from whence we proceed onto another subject in a successional manner all the way up until highschool (where data is to be synthesized through the use of analogy and catagorization).

  • Schools have more or been little more than holding pens for Neurotypicals who need continuous drilling give their short attention spans and interest, which adversly effects AS who are forced to move to and fro without actually studying anything because the other kids aren't as interested and need continual stimulation.

  • Comment removed

  • whatever happened to a good old fashioned ass woopin

  • @jimbo081 Yeah, like the one you need based from your comment.

  • a chemical that has been relegalized for our food triples the amount of autistic kids.

  • We could probably describe this type of corriculum as "Processional". The idea being that AS youth can attain a highschool graduat level proficiency by the age of 15 by actively following through with the obsessions (preferably with language being first, then arithmatic next and so on) rather than beign forced to move to and fro without actually studying anything because the kids around him aren't as dedicated.

  • AS are very different in that they will, once prompted, continue on a subject until that subject (and all within it's perythory) is completely mastered, from whence they can then work on another subject and the next after that in a successional manner all the way up until highschool (where data is synthesized through mnemonic analogies and catagorization would be extremely useful for this process)

  • This is very interesting. Obvioussly AS have very different learning requirements than nts and thus would fair better in segregation.

    Schools have been little more than holding pens for Neurotypicals who need someone to continuoussly drill them to learn as they have a very short attention span and usually turn school into a social club.

  • This is a bad idea for kids higher up the Autism Spectrum, especially if it replaces Primary School.

    It will simply make the kid feel different, even if he wants to be normal.

  • @a95865 Absolutely. But I hope this school only takes the low-functioning kids, because they're the ones who desperately need it.

  • @a95865 ive met autistic kids b4. There usually very smart but yet so different. enough of the time there casted away from society. Not most of the time but the effects of autism can be from nothing to not evan understanding the simplists of concepts. Autistic kids usually want to be normal so thats why there in special ed and schools like these. Are there almost the same as there brothers, sisters, parents etc. They will always be different

  • A sort of rival for my alma mater League School, but OK, too.

  • ASS!

  • He's a Child with autism

  • wow, the fascist right-wing have made disabilties into yet another income-based competition.
