Dont homeschool because your scared for him to bullied. I have a 5 yr old with adhd, a 2 yr old with autism. Doesnt speak, cant control his emotions or behaviors. But I teach my kids to love who they are. Be strong stand up for themselves and others. My daughter starts kindergarten this yr and my son starts school in jan on his 3rd bday. Its not easy being a mom to a special needs child. But its our job, to make them feel loved and to socialize and have friends. Kids are never going to be nice all the time. But dont teach your son to be scated of the world. Teach him to embrase it for the good, and accept the bad. Love for all the right reasons. And you as mama fight for him! Get him in all therapies possible to help him for now. Good luck! If you ever need someone to talk to, message me.

Homeschooling & there's schools for children with disabilities so he won't feel different with those other kids

That very difficult. Just work with him at your pace. You may think about homeschooling. My whole family was home schooled and we all are in college or at least working hard at a job. I'm going to homeschool my son through k12. That way I can work with him one on one and I don't have to worry about bullying and peer pressure.
