, hi,

I just had to give my 2 cents on this. I feel school is the right and

appropriate choice for our kids because a main thing with asd kids is a

lack of social skills, and being home is not going to address these

issues. The earlier our children are taught and exposed, the better. I

miss LJ all day and can't wait for him to be home, but I know I am doing

the right thing sending him to school. My son is an only child at home

here and I think it would be wrong not to have social activity (without

mommy).
