The best way to describe her is slightly autistic. The school seems to be incapable of handling this and is almost belligerent in their unwillingness to work with us. Time wise it's not too great a burden for me to home school because I do most of my work from home. The problem is I don't know if there are any home school programs that are non religious.
Does anyone know of any home school programs that are non religious?
Home schooling is rare in Australia, because the evangelicals here have access to low fee (heavily subsided by tax dollars) evangelical schools for their children.
In my state we have the Distance Education Center which runs homeschooling programs and I have not heard anything bad about them. It is aimed towards children for some reason or another cant attend schools.

Anyway I am wondering if there are in your area ASD support groups and especially groups for children with ASD's by any chance?
I looked into this. There is a support group on the south side of town. Houston is a very large city which makes the drive too long. Also my daughter is only slightly autistic. Autisim is a spectrum.
Thanks for the link, I'll look into it.
I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise
