My daughter is 3 and half we live in Germany where they attend Kindergarten anywhere from 2 to 6. She has been going for six months and loves it. The German people and their children seem to be alot more accepting of her autism. She is on the gfdf diet and the teachers are very careful about making she doesn't have anything she should not. They cook alot in the class and have birthday parties etc. but they are very good about informing me so I can provide an alternative. Plus my daughter has been very good about understanding that there are foods that are not good for her. Being able to maintain the diet was my biggest fear but has been a non issue so far. I know that we have been very lucky and pray we don't have to put her in a regular school system until she is six. I was also concerned with the fact that they mostly speak German at school as far as her speech goes but she likes learning the german and I would say it has helped her to have more original conversation. She tells me about her day in her own words almost everyday. This probably won't help much since my situation is so unique but hopefully you will find a good place with good people to ease some of those worries we have as a mom. The experience has completely changed our whole family for the better.

Your children must be more high functioning, I'll be lucky if my son ends up in a public school situation before he's 10, he's 5 and still barely speaks more than 10 words that anyone can understand, and still in diapers with potty training a LONG way off.

My son is 5-1/2 and should have started kindergarden this past fall. I opted to keep him out. He is just not ready and still not potty trained. We live in Texas and in Texas Kindegarden is optional. Next fall I can choose to put him in kindegarden or 1st grade. We have even considered home school. Until he is potty trained I can't make that decision.

As of yet my son is still un-dx'd (probably Asperger's). He is well behind his peers and I would like to hold him out another year. Unfortunately Head Start boots the kids out when they're age-eligible for kindergarten, and my son makes it by a whole 2 days!

my son started school when he was 3 he was in a edr room and boy i wish i had the the strength to understand then what i know now school was very hard and there are so many things that your child will have to go through occupational theraph was one of the things that we had to go through speech therapy,physical therapy he is now 7 and he has never even been able to get past kindergarden he probubly won't even be able to move on this year so starting school is going to be a challenge so be prepared i can't even have a job because my son is always getting kicked out of school i wish there was a way that i could have a job but tried and i kept losing my job thought when he got to go to school it was going to make my life easier it just made it harder so good luck and hope you have better luck then i'm having god bless you

My son is 5 and starts Kindergarten in September. It will be hard, since I will be going back to work after having my second child. I have already noticed a few things with his behaviour and it seems to be centred around the potty thing. He is finding it easier to just go in his pants. What is a mom to do?
