My older boy was homeschooled. In fact, homeschooling WAS his IEP. He’s got The Artist Condition Formerly Known As Prince Aspergers Syndrome as well as severe social anxiety, in addition to being very, very bright.

The District admitted they did not have a class that was appropriate for him, so they paid for one of his speech/path specialists and sent a retired teacher for an hour a day. Geord quickly went past where the visiting teacher was much help, but the relationship was important.

He’s taken college courses, but not found a muse, so we got him into an IT Tech training course, which he’s running through faster than the rest of the class.

Glad he’s doing well. If you don’t mind me asking, how old was he when you found out he had ASD? I didn’t find until I was 15- my sophomore year. My psychologist didn’t think I did. I forget the exact circumstances that led to my being diagnosed.
