Autism / Autism Spectrum Support Group
Autism is classified as a neurodevelopmental disorder which manifests itself in markedly abnormal social interaction, communication ability, patterns of interests, and patterns of behavior. Although the specific etiology of autism is unknown, many researchers suspect that autism results from genetically mediated vulnerabilities to environmental triggers.
It depends on your son, If he is a handful perhaps its is best for him to get the social interaction that comes with a mainstream school, and also give you enough time to recupurate during the day so you can be at your best through afternoon when he comes home from school. On the other hand if you feel that mainstream school could be a little to much for him then home schooling can be rewarding for you both. Good luck its a hard decision but with the lord as your guide you cant go wrong.
God bless XX's
It was awful and such a relief for both of us when we decided to homeschool.
I'd check out your district first, and give it a chance. If you don't feel it's right, you have the option to homeschool. I have a wonderful local support group and Evan has lots of friends his own age. It's difficult, but also rewarding.
Good luck in your decision.
