→The case for homeschooling
As with children with [[Autism]] (high functioning or otherwise), homeschooling is a valuable resource (along with the power[[ of prayer]]) for helping the child grow and adapt to a society that struggles to accept them.

"While public schools are funded to handle children with special needs, these locations are not always the best arenas for autistic children. One of the reasons that home-schooling your autistic child is a good idea is because special education programs may lump autistic children in with others who have maladaptive behavioral problems.

Remember, autistic children have behavioral problems due to their developmental inability to properly function normally in social situations. If they are placed in with others who have emotional problems they may regress instead of progress. However, if home-schooled, parents can control the social influences that are likely to either help or hinder the progress of their child. They can keep them away from insensitive teachers, bullies, and have greater control of their education."

Dozens of other sources point to [[homeschooling]] as a strong choice, if not '''the only viable alternative''', for special needs children, including children with Autism and Asperger's syndrome.
