Thank the gods that he has a pretty mild case. Autism is ... difficult. As a psychologist, I identified two in my son's kindergarten class, but they both had serious problems.

Do you have to put your son in public school as I had to do with mine because I cannot afford private (though if I had to do over again, I would have mortgaged my *soul* to get him into private school)?

Public schools want the parents to bear all the burden of coping with the disability. They are not as flexible as I would wish, though some teachers are wonderfully helpful.
