I suspect it is more common in the US.  Perhaps because the law

allows it and the numbers involved make it easier than in many other

countries.  But many autistic kids - especially those with aspergers

- have successfully gone through public education.  It really does

depend on the kid and the school as to what is the best solution. 

When it comes to some schools - public and private- home schooling

is a good option for everyone.

As someone else observed, $4,000 is fairly cheap for a private

school.  But, unfortunately, when it comes to private schools, you

don't always get what you pay for.

I'm just curious, is it very common for parents to

homeschool their Autistic children? I was homeschooled

(I'm not autistic) and I know there's a lot of people who

think homeschoolers are completely unsocialized and I can

see how people would think that would be a bad place for a

child with social difficulties to be. But also they could

work at a good pace/schedule for the child. Is it easy to

do? In the way of curriculum/laws.

(I'm majoring in special ed/elem. ed and want to teach

Autistic kids.)

specific to your state, if you find one that's probably

your best source for finding out what your compliance and

notification requirements are. I don't belong to the

Homeschool Legal Defense Association, but I think their

website offers a breakdown of laws state by state also.

Your state's department of education may have additional

information.
