@matt Have you seen Montessori classrooms with children who naturally have ASD-esque hyperfocus? Does Montessori have any tried and true transitions for such circumstances? cc/ @zeni.eth

@matt
Montessori tends to be good for both ASD and ADHD. Up to a point there’s no special treatment or considerations needed. If it’s running properly the hyperfocus student can just keep focusing (depending on what they are doing). Beyond a certain point I do think special routines and teacher skills are needed. Sorry, hard to be specific—feel free to follow up!
