[quote=Anonymous]   Like most of the above posters, I agree that absent very unusual circumstances the small private school option is best if you can swing it.  Also, if your employment situation changes you may be able to apply for some financial aid from an independent school or one of the Catholic schools.  The key is to find a nuturing small environment -- not where the teachers will look our for him and at a school where there will be some other kids with certain challenges (hopefullly most not on the spectrum) so that DS doesn't feel he is the only one who has to work a bit harder at something.  In the right school he will be less likely to be bullied and may be more likely to find tolerant , understanding peers.   OP didn't say how well DS does academically aside from the social issues.   If this is going to mean you have to eat dog food for the next 20 years in retirement, then home schooling may be your only real optoin, but if you swing a small private with a tad of belt tightening, give that a shot.
