I've thought about this for awhile, I think it would be amazing to have a school specifically for people with Autism. I doubt they would allow it though, we're probably too dangerous as a collective.

I've read about schools for people with AS in US, but I have also heard the Montessori system is also good for people with AS. I tried to get my daughter in one Montessori school but it did not work because she came too damage from the regular system and hated school back then so the system would not work on her. The system needs you to be motivated and works with your strenghts. It sounds great!
