That doesn't make it right when mainstreaming a “special” child prevents the un-special students from reaching their potential.

You keep saying this, Prove where my son participatign in your son's Gym class and having recess with him makes your child learn less.

We are waiting...

Just for those reading for information, Gym and Recess are the first mainstream periods for Autistic children because they need to learn social skills sitting in History class at a desk does them no good and they would be disruptive if it was their first class with normal kids because they would not have the social skills to be quiet, they have to learn that from kids in gym and at recess first, then, if they are academically up to it, they get put in a class with an aide sitting next to them at first so they do not slow down the class.

That depends.  Is he going to throw tantrums and assault the Gym teacher?
