This September we have started school-and started it in the regular class, with regular kids. A year later than regular kids do, but still pretty much within the expected range. Of course, in order to make it work we had to get an assistant who will be with him all the time and keep him engaged on class work.
Lucky for me (and him), he is not that problematic when it comes to functioning in the society/the group. Also, he doesn't have problem with new situations, new people and new environment. He likes going to school and his school buddies like him as well. And what is very important, he manages given tasks easily-well, at least most of them- hand control is still a problem when it comes to coloring and writing. But he excels when it comes to reading :)
Lucky for us, his younger brother is a real motivator..it helps that a younger one is a real chatter box and truly devoted to his older brother. He really gets him into socializing and closer emotional contacts and I am sure that this is one of the most important reasons why he is so open for new situations and new interactions.
