<p>We're starting to look at schools for our son who has mild PDD/ADD. He does very well in school with virtually no special services but a lot of oversight from us. Obviously college is another story. Looking at WPI's website, I was surprised not to see any references to autism spectrum support programs like those at other tech-minded schools such as RIT, MIT and RPI. Yet I have been told that WPI would be a good fit for a quirky, smart, socially awkward kid like mine interested in computers and engineering.</p>

<p>Is there anyone here who is or has a kid on the spectrum who attends/attended WPI, and who can speak about their experience? We have heard good things about WPI in general, but there are a lot of factors to consider.</p>

<p>Thanks very much!</p>

<p>If you can’t find enough specific info on their website - [Disability</a> Services: Students - WPI](<a href=“http://www.wpi.edu/offices/disabilities/students.html]Disability”>http://www.wpi.edu/offices/disabilities/students.html)
then call and ask some questions. I’m sure they would be happy to talk to you.</p>
