My son is in first grade and was just diagnosed with Asperger's. We are currently in the city and our public school is not a good fit for our son. Is anyone aware of a school district in the greater Philadelphia area that supports families and children with AS? Thanks!

I know they have a autisic class at my son's school. A few of the high functioning kids are in his Developmental Kindergarten class. I think that's different than Asperger's though.

Cinnaminson NJ BTW.
