In regards to a high school for Aspies? well, perhaps an area like a lab of sorts wherein, an aspie can take part in going about various fascinations that relate to he/she, not necessarily of a scientific nature, but rather like if someone had a strong fascination for tubes, gloves, anything I guess..


indeed we should have a lab for sure

ill be stimming with the PVC / rubber aprons and gloves

Just sit there bored probably, or look at everyone like "wtf are doing?". Well that woud be the point, with the revearsal thing the NT would be in the same shoes as the aspie in the group of NTs.

Hows about we subject them to do something they're terrible at on a outrageously common basic like how we had to socialise in high school

I'd love to have a school in which you could specialise more in a particular subject, for example take a higher higher level exam in biology, we're usually talented in narrow areas, and current education systems prefer "jack of all trades" to people with great capability in select areas.

Have several music rooms chock full of instruments, I love playing piano in school. it beats socialising :lol:

PE would be abolished :lol:

Evil, if we did this, da NT would seemingly be unstable after a while :twisted:

This is much unstable the NT would become:

They could have a koolaid machine. i love koolaid. And that highschool is actually a college and university too, so we can hang out forvever in the GIANT TRAMPOLINE ROOM!
and a planetarium so i could learn more without having to travel miles out of the city to see every star.
and they would order food in the cafeteria by taste and texture instead of what it was. I could go to three diffrent restuarants and they could all give salads but each salad is diffrent in each restraunt even though on all the menus they claim to be the same item... you know what i mean? I'm just picky about that stuff.
I'm sure it's been mentioned but a library SO MASSIVE it takes a month to index the whole thing. like 20 people in this library and A LOT of books so many books you could get lost if it wasn't for directions in brail and regular writing in four languages. A library so huge it can contain the knowledge of all man kind you know (well most of it. leave out the pop culture magizines for another building)
and solar panels on every inch of the roof to power the entire thing (a library that big must use a zillion lightbulbs)...

I know a lot of this if mentioned before but,
a massively massive library with nice little hideaway spots and lots of computers.
For gym we could have those inflaitable bouncy toys, a trampoline, a cirucus swing, and rope swings (the kind that have a disk which you can both swing and spin)
All the hallway walls should be decorated with multicolorful imagery, there should be dark/quiet rooms for those of us who have sensory problems or just need to recover from a meltdown.
Each and every teacher should be interviewed by a group of students to make sure they know what they're doing. We need to have a field trip at least once a weak, classes on all types of sciences, art mediums, math, music,history, computers, psycology, languages, definatley social skills, cooking, and at least one counselor who knows what they're doing.
A variety of healthy(!) foods should be provided and a survey taken for student's preferred texture, no uniforms because of individuality and sensory issues, definitely no loud assemblies, maybe have one class outside if the weather's nice. Absolutley no fire alarms, if we need to do any drills the alarm will be a nice gentle pinging sound.
Possibly even employ some of the older students to jumpstart their job experience.
I also think every classroom should have a color/subject theme.

Oh, and we should have a weekly schedule posted in the classrooms and on students notebooks, and a stim room with nice plushie things to cuddle, different types of low pitched soothing sounds, play-doh and engagingly colorful things.
I think grades K- all the way to college should be included, and we should have a pool where students can learn to swim or just have fun.

I should stop there, my post is becoming huge. :lol: Maybe I'll go start a school? :chin:
