Homeschooling. Definitely homeschooling. No, joke. Someone posted a link for Internet-based courses. I actually wanted to work on developing a complete K-12 curriculum to save kids the horror of public schooling, but nobody cared in the least. Boy, I sure want to attend a school system run by people who don't care in the least.

Hi @nizamrcl , welcome to the forum, I hope you will find it useful... actually I'm pretty sure you will

Are you just after general advice on an autistic 5 year old, or are there special things you are after?

I often hear "How else are your kids going to become socially adapted?" They're never going to become socially adapted! You just are the way you are, or you're distorting yourself to fit people who can't stand you. That's my experience, anyway, with the usual disclaimer that mileage varies. But it can be the case, I would say.

I will withhold all jokes pertaining to Diet or Cherry Autism.

By classic, do you mean ASD3?

Yes. Better be careful when taking an autistic kid to an unknown place full of noisy unknown kids and performance pressures. I don't have any bad experience myself (that I remember - outside school work presentation in front of a class), but I have read enough horror stories about perfectly social, happy and balanced autistic children ending up to a catatonic perma-mute state after their first school day... I take he/she is in kindergarten, how he/she has managed that?

Oh... And welcome to the forums...

Society is truly toxic, and I think it's only gotten worse throughout my lifetime.
