[quote=Anonymous]I replied to another poster on another thread about considering homeschooling and the OP of this thread asked me to post here. I homeschooled my own DS with Aspergers from 6th -- 8th grade so we could work on both behaviors and academics. His behaviors were more on the line of 'weird' verbal outbursts that he thought were funny, but other kids just thought were weird. He couldn't pick up on the social cues and didn't know when he was being made fun of or bullied. We were in small homeschool groups that let him practice his social skills without being overwhelmed in a large group. We could also pick and choose our groups. He maintained contacts with public school kids with involvement in a local chess club and eventually went back to PS. Homeschooling can be a really good option for kids with disabilities and socially I think it can be more beneficial if it is structured correctly than a large school setting.[/quote]
