Mainstream educational provision for children on the autistic spectrum can be inadequate or inappropriate. An increasing number of parents dissatisfied with the education system are looking elsewhere for an approach that will suit their children's needs. In ''Home Educating Our Autistic Spectrum Children'', parents who have chosen to home educate their children with autism or Asperger's syndrome candidly relate their experiences: how they reached the decision to educate at home, how they set about the task, and how it has affected their lives. Following these personal accounts, the final chapters offer practical advice on getting started with home education, legal advice from an expert in education law, and contact details of support organisations
Introduction; So, what's the problem with school?; Square pegs don't fit round holes (Robert's story); Home truths (Stephen's story); Is this normal? (Kevin's story); But will he ever speak to me? (Greg's story); In the real world, it's OK to be different (Alex's story); An inspiration to us all (Matthew's story); Once a homeschooler, always a homeschooler (John's story); Being himself (Tristan's story); The difficult child (Alexandra's story); Three springs for a summer (David's story); Liberated by the label (Mark's story); Living without the label; I've decided to home educate: what do I do next?; An outline of the law and practice of home-based education; Finding support and information.
This is an inspiring and often very moving book which I would recommend to all parents as it covers many core issues about education, parenting and psychology.
