  4. Good morning all! I am in the choice making phase of trying to decide what is the best path for my 7 yr old son with aspergers. We have tried public and specialized schools for him, with less than adequate results. He is very high functioning but his hold backs are very aggresive behavior and impulse control issues, plus focusing trouble. He has consistently said he wants to be home and that he hates school. I am considering hs as i feel we have exhausted all other avenues. Will you please share your experiences with me (good and bad)? Thanks!:confused:
  5. Thank you for your reply! We have had the boys in st, ot, and wraparound services for 2 yrs now and they also see a ped. neurodevelopment specialist. While they aren't gfcf yet we are in the process and have had extensive testing done on them. This testing has lead to the change in diet and essential nutrient supplemetation (started in Sept.) to which we have seen impressive results. However this is a slow process and I can't help but wonder if I am simply torturing him by forcing him to participate in ps. :confused:
  6. I am looking for anyone who can help us to make this decsion. I am the mom of 3 boys 6,4,& 2. Our first two sons are both on the Autism spectrum. Our 6 yr old is the one we are considering home schooling for. He is very bright and does well academically. However we just had to pull him out of the 4th school type setting (main stream kindergarten) due to his behavior. He is very aggressive (biting, hitting, kicking, headbutting, pinching ect). He refuses to follow directions and and becomes aggitated when it is time for structured activites. He recently head butted his para-professional, splitting her lip. This is when I told the school that despite their best efforts they cant handle him. However the options they are giving us are not satisfactory. They are expecting us to send him to a school that is over an hour away, five days a week for 6.5 hours a day. He would also be surrounded with childern that are profoundly below him(multiple diagnosis) instead of with children whose behavior we want him to model. Are there any other families out there who have a similar experience to ours and what has your experience been with homeschooling?
