There is non reason why not unless the child feels sick due to the kidneys failing or something. It depends on which syndromes he have since there are several different ones. I can not find any reason why not the child can not go to school as usual. Schools usually have no problem adjusting if needed after a sick student. Seeing their friends every day and interacting with others is very important in a childs life.
I imagine whether or not to put him/her on medications, and what kinds.... if they should put him/her in a public school....

You insist that the school perform an IEP (Individualized Education Plan) for your child, at which you present the documentation from the diagnosing facility about your child's Asperger's Syndrome. You are within your rights to insist that they include the AS in the IEP, along with accomodations for your child's needs. If they refuse, you are within your rights to insist that they state within the IEP that they decline to serve your child's needs as regards his or her Asperger's Syndrom and their reasoning for it. Whether or not they document it, you should bring a tape recorder to the IEP and record the entire session. You can always sue them under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) for not accomodating your child's needs.

What and how you tell a child about Asperger's Syndrome will depend on the child's age and how much interaction he or she will have with a person who has Asperger's Syndrome. A child with a sibling or parent who has Asperger's Syndrome could see more characteristics of Asperger's Syndrome than one whose friend has it, and a child whose friend has it is likely to see more characteristics than one whose classmate has it. If it is a friend, discuss it with the parents of the friend to learn what characteristics the friend exhibits and what your child could do to help his or her friend. If it is a classmate, ask the school personnel what behaviors occur at school. Some characteristics to cover are: * misinterpreting meanings such as when taking words literally * sensory issues * adherence to routines such as wearing the same clothes or sitting in the same spot Some of the more comprehensive websites on autism and Asperger's Syndrome have information on describing Asperger's Syndrome to children. Also, the book "Can I Tell You about Asperger Syndrome? A Guide for Friends and Family?" by Jude Welton is written for children. It might be available from your local library. If you are telling a child that he or she has Asperger's Syndrome, see the related question below "How do you tell your child that she has Asperger's Syndrome?"
Some priorities that one should consider when choosing the right school for a child is how will the child be getting to school, is the school accessible to them. What are the class sizes, will they child get the individual help they need.
Yes, i believe that children with Down Syndrome should be with their mothers. No one can ever take the place of a mother and love the child the way a mother does.
Like any other child? Why treat the child any differently because he or she has a disability. That would be discrimination.
