Tried it for a year,with. 2 boys ,the older of them couldn't motivate he would try an do a sentence an hour,they had similar problem with him in primary school,the younger one,would rush through an want to do next task,

In end I felt they wouldn't benefit from it and put them back in mainstream school.

Is the lad in a special needs school or mainstream with support?

Another problem we had was some old nosey bint kept calling round trying to be see kids,always trying to get them back in school.i wouldn't let her in house.

My missus joined a home ed group an met a local mum,an her kids was some of the most irratating spoilt little shits going,

She even went to a home ed summer camp in Carmarthenshire ,it was full of tree huggers..

You can only give it a go,he can always go back to mainstream school.

If the lads got autism and obsesses/has a very strong interest you can use that unlike a teacher.

 

If he likes dinosaurs:

'X Dinosaur weighs 30 tonnes,1000 pounds in a tonne 2.2 pounds to a kilo,how many kilos is the dinosaur?'

 

then some of that keenness is transferred over to maths.

Not 'if Abdul has 4 apples and Jane has 2,does anyone actually care?'

 

if your missus has transport they can go to museums,aquariums,zoos etc

Home schooled kids achieve more in and after school than those that go to mainstream school.

mainstream with no support matey all that goes on kids who misbehave and his work is good but its the social side he doesnt have any friends and doesnt really know how to interact or mix with the other kids the school still has not acknowledged he has autism even though they have had all the reports from nearly 12 months ago and still havent returned some reports from june even though the mrs has been in and rung numerous times they sent a monitor in sept and she said in a report its clear he isnt getting the help he needs buts the school are dragging there heels for some reason

We got 2 autistic lads here,not mine stepsons ,ones 18 in February ,he's was just under 4 when I met his mum,he's only mildly autistic,bit of dyspraxia,more behavioural problems than anything. He used to try and intimidate by leaning close as he's always been tall for his age.mentally I would say he's 8

Other lad was 16 in August he's opposite end of the spectrum,severe infantile autism,can only say a few words,no sense of danger/boundaries and only came out of nappies in January.he has pics as well ,eating non food substances .id say he's mentally a preschooler.

Another thing to consider is yourselves, if he's home 24/7 it will grind you down. I also found they done better at school working with others,

Is the school or lea dragging its heels because of funding? ,the eldest had diagnosis at 3 for his and had one to one support in mainstream school,they said he was to bright for special needs school,but he never got his full autism label till he went to secondary school ,which imo was to late.

Our other lad goes to special needs school,but there's no respite places in this county suitable for him.

thanks for your replys matey my lad does that leaning in to you has well his behaviour is normally good but he has to have a set routine things have to be done a certain way and time and its like ocd if you will and if something breaks the routine its like he goes in melt down and he cant understand or get his head round this and you have to pre warn him if he has to go anywere that breaks this routine and its the school they are dragging there heels they get funding that suppose to help but that just goes on kids that kick off which he doesnt do but he isnt getting any help what so ever and they are trying to question this since he was diagnosed and your right its going to be hard if we go down that road thanks for your input matey

No worries ,sounds like our eldest,he's now doing it computer course at local college,last year it was similar course at newport college. Won't let him stay at home sat on his arse.

If you or missus need to ask ,or you need to let rip drop me a pm,it's stressful especially since funding gets cut constantly in all areas. Take it easy mate ;)

I know a few people with autism and have been around it in some form or another all my life. If they are higher functioning home schooling may impact on social skills. Only you, the people around your son and the medical people involved will know mate. Fuuck social services and all them types mate they know shit nowadays, speak to the people around you ;)

I'm not certain,but I think the rule was if you're child has never been to school you can home school straight away with no interference but if they start and are pulled out the state have the right to randomly and regularly check you.

 

So it would be a good idea to have a curriculum and some accredited books lying around,whether or not you actually teach/follow them.

I thought it was a child of school age has to have a education,so you have to prove what work he's done.

But it's how you think of it,walk with the dog can be a science lesson,get him to draw/write what he's seen nature/biology etc,

Kick around or play equipment at local park can be pe lesson ,supermarket shopping trip can be maths or life skills.

Helping with meals is home economics.

I think you only have to prove that once they've gone on some register they're put on when they start school,before that you don't need anybodies permission or approval.

I could have it wrong or it could have changed,I'll ask my Mrs later.
