Regular all the way. But the public school did kick me out after 2nd grade and accepted me back for 5th grade. The private school was regular + Jewish class.

I went to a special school for about a year when I was 4. My doctor had some tests done for me when I was 3, and they concluded that I had a speech and learning impediment. During my time at the school, the staff also noticed that I actively avoided playing with the other kids, but this was before AS was generally known. As it was, I managed to pick up speaking and learning within a year, so when I was five I started primary school with all the other kids.

I was in a mainstream primary school but then when I moved to secondary school I was in a center for autism and did some lessons their but most of them in mainstream with support, sadly I think i grew a bit to use to have support, by year 10 I had all lessons in the main school with support and then in year 11 limited support which sent my stress levels through the roof. Now I'm still at the same school in sixth forum with no support what so ever which I'v adapted to but has made my levels of anxiety rocket up and caused me to have slight breakdowns.
