Anyone know of a boarding school for aspies, people with ADHD, ect that is under $40,000 per year? Residential, that is. The cheapest I found was still over $60,000, but my dad will not pay unless it is $40,000 or less. A tiny bit above might also be ok, location does not matter although US would be better.

Woah, that is a LOT of money! Why do you want/need to go to a boarding school?

You don't mention your grade - are you looking for secondary or post-secondary?

Yes, I graduated from one, and taught at one.

That was more a rhetorical question than anything else as it can be safely assumed that most people pass through the hellish gauntlet that is public school, particularly high school.

I found a couple of private schools that said they had a focus on non-verbal LD/ADHD students. Tuition was all in the low to mid 40,000 range (couldn't find any below that for residential) They are:
Leelanau School
Gow School
VanGuard School

I'll defer to anyone who knows about the schools firsthand - I know nothing about any of them except what was on the websites. Have you checked out any boarding school or LD websites? That's where I found the names and links.

Good luck with your search.
