to homeschool or not homeschool a child with Asperger Syndrome

[simplygreen]

Ok Mamas I really want to hear what you all have to say about homeschooling or not homeschooling a child with Asperger Syndrome.

My son just got DX, he is 4.5 we attempted preschool last year (before we new about our dx). He hated it. He is so socially awkward,  but really enjoys the outdoors, has tons of motivation for hard pyscial work. We are just getting started with some therapies but We were planning on homeschooling  I'm hearing so many different things.

For those of you that homeschool... what are your days like?

For those of you sending your kid to school are they mainstream or in special school?

Hi simplygreen. I'd like to invite you to solicit opinions here on the Learning at School board about member's experience with schooling their children. You could post in the Learning at Home forum to gain wisdom from those who homeschool. If you just want to gather opinions without worrying about schooling location, you might just want to focus/post in Special Needs in the Parenting section. Would you mind editing your post to clarify your focus in this forum on schooling experiences?
