It is really individual to the school and teachers. I would not recommend montessori as it often does not have the emphasis on social development as needed, but these schools are very different also. It is very dependent on your school district. Try to have input on picking teachers and have meetings at the end of the year with the principal about what would be a best teacher for your student. Having the right teacher is the most important thing and I find that setting is less important. Of course it is a battle every year to get the best teacher. IF you have a cooperative school system I would definitely stick with the public system.

one of my sons aged 12 has this and him going to an ordinairy primary school where the staff simply(nobodys fault) did not know enough about this condition was an absolute nightmare for him-he is now in his second year in high school and is top of his year-his support staff there know a lot about this condition and it shows-as with any child with aspergers school will never be a totally great experience but the difference in my son is remarkable-ie of course he would rather not have to attend school again lol he is very content- dont judge a school by its results ensure you get a good look at what special needs support they offer at the schools before u make a decision-dont worry hun hell be fine-you know i can finally see the light and kids with aspergers are always going to be a massive worry for us as parents -i wouldnt have mine any other way x

My husband and I are debating the same issue now . . . My son will be starting kindergarten next year and we are incredibly concerned. I have come to the conclusion there is no right or wrong answer . . . and will be trying public school.

It matter what type of Aspbergers he has… I have aspbergers and did pretty well in public school… thats what I would recommend.
