Oh, god, I knew this one. There is a school somewhere in co.Durham, which is really good. One of my former neighbours had her son there. I will try and find out for you.

Tst, I can�t get in touch with her. Been trying to find it on line but without luck so far. Another friend of mine is supposed to get back to me re another school in Alnwick, Northumberland. It might however be the first one there: http://www.epiweb.org/northumberland.html

You can also check for contacts there http://www.aboutautism.org.uk/sen.htm

And some other info here http://www.teachernet.gov.uk/wholeschool/sen/p arentcarers/

If you get in touch with your local education authority they would be able to advise you if there are any schools where you live.

I�ll see if I can dig up some info on the ones round here.

if you ask the AS they give you a list and really I wanted a recommendation for a good ASD specific school around the middle of england.

There is an excellent School in London Borough of Hillingdon ... Though that might be to far away for you.

it was started by the Parents of an Autistic child who was so disgusted at the lack of adequate provision she started her own School ...

This is a link to an old article about ithttp://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/248810.st m

It's called Hillingdon Manor School and the phone number is: 01895 81367
