is home schooling better for aspergers 11yr old

crystal47

my 11 yr old son who is aspergers and very introverted goes to secondary school in september i am terrified he will be targeted by bullies. there is an asd unit in the school but will that stop him from being attacked? i would like to know if anyone thinks home schooling is a better option or do i let him attend mainstream school? im just worried he will have real problems there. i would appreciate any advice thanks.

  • I would try the school, you can always pull out if its bad.

    I wouldnt worry too much about bullying, I wasnt bullied much, I think a lot of children are a bit afraid of auties.

    Also bullies tend to want a response and a willing slave who will worship them to boost their ego, auties arent the most responsive and not good at acting the part.

    Social exclusion is a much bigger problem, its hard to fit in and he will probably be upset by the noise and complexity, but if the unit gives him coaching on life skills he will learn a lot of stuff that he has to learn sometime.
