I'm putting it out here because I would like your opinion before even approaching my son who is 11. We have home-schooled him thus far. Next year he has the option to go to a school that only takes children with ASD. I'm thinking that the parents will be more understanding and understand that he really isn't being rude when he gets upset and explains why you are wrong about something. He may find more people that he connects to that share his same interests, that don't shy away from his vocabulary, constantly question his picking and don't bat an eye when he has to take his meds.

At the same time home schooling is so much more relaxed and non-pressured for him. There are students that are homeschooled that have ASD.

Also he does not know he has ASD. He suspects it because he identified with the main character in "Livie Owen Lives here" and he has stated that he does X,Y,Z like (family friend) that also has ASD. We tell him it's his adhd but one day we will have to tell him just broching any topic without inducing anxiety is tough.

As a kid would you have rather gone to an ASD school or home school?
