A pal of mine runs a big martial arts and “combat” school in the U.K., he trains all sorts of people from kids to government agency’s and everything in between. A very, very capable lad……he always said in his self defence classes “The first thing you do if you can is run away” ! All this Rambo mindset won’t save a nice lad out with his mates from some animal who wants to plunge you ! We don’t live in a world of Queensbury rules straighteners anymore, it just naive to think we do.

Exactly that mate, there is no “rule” or one size fits all, I think home school parents (or ones considering it) can get too hung up with that education system mindset of having I reach goals and tick boxes…..it don’t work like that, or at least it don’t have to if you don’t want to. It’s so much more flexible than that, you don’t have to sit a kid at the kitchen table every day bored out their f***ing tree because that may not suit their personality……maybe they learn better out making things in the shed while listening to a pod cast about history or science or world events ? Maybe t

This isn’t a thread about autism mate, it’s a thread about home school and a lad looking for views from people with Experience in home school.

Didn’t know that mate, my command of Gealic extends to “Agus” ! lol That’s it ! lol

So, if you had taken a second to process what I wrote, you said “don’t do it, it’s bad for them socially” or something along them lines and I pointed out that, that just isn’t true because even a lad with autism can learn to function better than most “normal” adults socially when home schooled ! Er go, home school don’t effect them socially at all just because it’s homeschool ! If an autistic lad can fly then anyone can fly. It’s false to say otherwise. It can in fact be much better. There, hope that clears that up.

@Bendigo, just to add, my daughters were hating school and left at 14….they have vocational schools here which are a bit like 6th form as in you can ware your own clothes etc but it’s very informal and they enrolled there (much to everyone’s frowns as it’s looked down on here) They also at the same time went to work in the chippy, grafted every night/weekends etc It was just what they needed, they used the money to fund qualifications that allowed them to do real things in the real world, one of them qualified in adult social care and cops about 40 grand a year and the other is the

There you go with your big, strong opinions again. I just read what you wrote and it’s utter f***ing drivel ! Period ! Sit down and be quiet, you may learn something !
-
You are talking about subjects you know nothing about again arent you ? lol @Bendigo My story is the opposite….(sorry I didn’t get to expand yesterday) So, to cut a long story short my lad has been homeschooled since 5, he started mainstream but it was a terrible experience for him and that brought about a subsequent autism diagnosis…..so, quickly realising nobody would understand him like me we took him out of school and just did it ourselves. Now, for us we had to learn to understand how my lad learns (this isn’t really relevant to your situation but may be handy for anyone

If anyone is ever in Kent around the Manston/Birchington area it’s well worth a few hours of your time to call into the Powell Cotton museum at Quex Park Estate……one man’s amazing collection of absolutely everything !…..and I mean everything ! From a stuffed Elephant to Napoleons desk and chair and everything you could possibly imagine inbetween ! What a life he must have lived, you have to see it all to believe it.

I was chatting to my youngest lad over a cup of tea the other morning and this subject came up, can’t remember how, and we were talking about trans people and gay people. So I said to him, the difference is son, if you came to me and said “Dad, I’m gay” I’d say “No bother son, you know I love you so it don’t matter”……but……if you came to me and said “Dad, from here on in I want to be know as Doris and ware a dress” I’d say “Don’t worry son, I’ll get you some help from the mental health people!” That seemed to settle the discussion on what the differences are.
