[quote=Anonymous] I don't live local to this board so I'm not asking for any suggestions for local schools, since I live about 17 hrs away lol.

Dc is 9, finishing 3rd grade ,dx autism, at a small private school. Think church basement type school, it's not sn but she's also not the only sn kid there. She gets A's. I like the curriculum used and it's available in the homeschool market also.

She's asking to homeschool. She's been asking. She does have friends and her quirks are well tolerated. I think she just gets overwhelmed with all those other humans around. She's not happy. She's not even eating lunch or going to recess lately.

In my area, there are a few other church basement type schools, a few large church schools, our local zoned public (about 700 kids I think) and she would qualify for our county's GT academy, housed in a 1400 student school. People have told me to put her in there, but I've also heard other moms of kids with ASD have issues with the setting.

I work. So does her other parent. It would have to be an online school. There are many. Even the curriculum her school uses has its own homeschool program.

Has anyone else's dc around this age homeschooled, was it just for a while or did they graduate from homeschool? Were they able to socialize? Did they return to traditional school at some point?[/quote]
