There are special education classrooms & even special education schools.

After I graduated with an ed degree, I worked half a year in a public school, special needs preschool class. We had about a dozen classically autistic children.

I've been substitute teaching for a year and have never seen a classically autistic kid in class. I sub for special ed teachers too and still have only seen pretty high functioning kids.

I wonder where the heck they are going? I'm going to have to ask someone.

With the right intervention, you can work wonders, my son started out a nonverbal classic case, considered to be very low functioning. Now it would take a trained eye to spot it in less than half an hour. he talks and reads and plays games like most eleven-year-olds. Of course this does not work for everyone, but most can be helped in amazing ways.
