homeschooling

Please try not to worry, although its natural to. Everyone who starts home ed has similar worries and I've not met one person yet that has had their fears come true. I home eded all my 4 boys 3 of whome are on the spectrum and I have to say they have all thrived. Especially my no 3 son who is moderately autistic. We sent him to school when he was 9 before we knew what autism was because he hadn't learned to read yet and I thought to let the professionals have a go...worse thing I ever did! It's not the fault of the teachers its the school system itself that is geared towards producing conformists and as we know autistics can't conform! So I took him back out with selective mutism and high anxiety and now he is back to his old chatty, happy self again. I recently came across a free online course called courageous homeschooling. Give it a google and try it, its really good. In the meantime education otherwise is a brill source of info too. Good luck.
