My youngest son (9 years old) has Asperger's syndrome, so he's an autist. We know lots and lots of parents with autistic children, and there are all kinds of problems, especially with schools and education.
But we've had nothing but luck: my son has a wonderful elementary school with great, experienced and loving teachers, he loves school and has never had a day feeling unwanted or misunderstood there, and the equally wonderful high school his brother and sisters are visiting already agreed to accept him next year .
We are extremely grateful for that.
