Jacob was diagnosed with Autism at 2yrs. He has progressed well and Im hoping to get ORRS funding before he starts school. He will only follow instructions if he reads them out loud. His kindy teacher believes he is gifted as he can read (by sounding each unknown word out) anything and can recite times tables up to 12. He can count up to 2000...when hes trying to calm himself down. He is well spoken but very quiet. His favourite thing to do is play on Microsoft word and computer games that are designed for 6-8 year olds. He is self taught. What should I do? Should I be researching to find a school designed for special gifted children?. Can anyone offer any advice?
His memory is incredible yet his social skills are poor. I don't feel he will fit into a public school as it will be revision for him and he will get bored due to lack of stimulation and this may cause behavioural problems...such as running away...another thing he does well.
