12yo autistic dd begging us to homeschool her

She goes to the loveliest private school (on a means-tested bursary), seemed to have a fantastic Year 7 but it transpires she was masking all the way through it. She has now fallen apart in Year 8. We cannot do this. We both work full time. How on earth do we manage this. It is awful.

Has she got an EHCP?

Minerva or one of the other online schools?

Same position here, except in state school. If it’s private they should be able to provide some online provision?
