We've been on both ends of the spectrum. My oldest is merry functioning autistic -- very bright, but needed creative, brains teachers when he was younger. Many were, but others didn't have enough training to separate what to do with him.
They felt that autistic = remedial. Far from it! Now we have my youngest boy, who has been bored at equip for several years because he is not challenged enough. We are working with the approach arrangement to support what else we can do so he doesn't declivity through the cracks.
I sparely won't put aside that to happen.
