Should I bother applying to Boarding Schools for my DS?

There are lots of 2E kids out there, and you might be seeing that. Or he may just need to mature. Regardless, you might be really well served by getting an assessment by a good professional. This often requires a wait and is not cheap, so your timing is good.

The benefit is that whatever the outcome, you would have what you needed to find a school that could be ideal for him. Because you are all open to BS, your ideal school need not be within driving distance of your home.

BS don’t want to take kids who aren’t likely to thrive, and that isn’t purely an academic assessment. Some may have the environment and resources to allow him to thrive while others may not. You’ll need to do your homework (which a good assessment can help with), but there’s no reason to assume it’s a no go.
