Sorry knat
I have only just spotted this thread-and am dashing out to work in a min.

Have a look at the Home Education Special Needs page and the associated email support list
I can't recommend that support list highly enough. There will be loads of people there who know exactly what you are going through, as they have been there themselves. You'll get lots of information and support.

There is a book I'd recommend also Home Educating our Autistic Spectrum Children :Paths are made for walking edited by Terri Dowty.

Product Description
Mainstream educational provision for children on the autistic spectrum can be inadequate or inappropriate. An increasing number of parents dissatisfied with the education system are looking elsewhere for an approach that will suit their children's needs. In "Home Educating Our Autistic Spectrum Children", parents who have chosen to home educate their children with autism or Asperger's syndrome candidly relate their experiences: how they reached the decision to educate at home, how they set about the task, and how it has affected their lives. Following these personal accounts, the final chapters offer practical advice on getting started with home education, legal advice from an expert in education law, and contact details of support organisations
