autism school for geniuses

Post Reply New Topic

I use the rem genius lightly.

They told me I am one, but what good is being a genius if your socially unable to function in school.

If a school existed that could teach autistic children with high iq's would you want to go?

I am currently working on a presentation for a school board to create a school just for this reason.
It would also serve other disabilities but would be promoted as a school that exists to teach these children.
No bullies allowed!

Would I have wanted to go? Probably? Would it have been a good idea for me? I don't know.

I know mainstream schools really sucked for some people, and they weren't great for me, but I feel like I've learnt a lot about how NT people interact with each other and that's been invaluable in attempting to learn how to talk to people.

But I think I may be an odd case. I only went into school for break and lunch, and did nearly all my learning at home, or by staying after school to have one-on-one sessions with my teachers.

Jacked,
I would send my son in a New York second. I do understand that interacting with NTs is a skill that requires practice, but I think he would learn better if the teachers at least had the abiluty to translate for him. Do you think your school could offer a class for socializing with NTs, including detecting bullying and learning ways to counteract it?
