This study brings together the theoretical and empirical practices of traditional informative education, radical transformative education, and sustainable education reform. An analysis of learning disability and constructivist learning are used to elucidate the socio-complexity of historic academic constructs concerning educational leadership for social justice. This study is the beginning of a larger future exploration of alternative academic practices as transformative learning in radical school reform. The study considers how transformative education practices produce radical increase in performance outcomes for participants with Autism Spectrum Disorder; this effective impact with severely diagnosed atypical learning population challenge conventional disabled learning theory practices. The ontological student perspective deliberates where in the realm of education does the atypical learner particularly with ASD (specifically with Asperger Syndrome) exist? The students are diagnosed with High Functioning Autism and participate in an urban high school transition program called the Asperger Inclusion Program (AsIP) and an extra-curricular program called Ethos. The study provides access to student experiences that drive discussion to ponder equity and power in pedagogy and society by removing historically tendentious curricular constraints.
