Autism Diagnosis and Summer Homeschool Plans

I have not updated here in a while, mostly because we have been extremely busy and because I've just gotten over my horrible first trimester of pregnancy, during which I was alternatively throwing up and passed out from taking extremely soporific anti-nausea pills. Now I'm back to my old self for the most part and ready to start fresh. We decided to graduate Henry from "Kindergarten" to "First Grade", (for anyone not familiar with homeschooling, grades are often more for other people asking us than for our own reference, as we often work above or below standard grade level in different subjects, making picking which grade we're really in difficult.) In March we had Henry evaluated and he was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. He scored high on the IQ test and on the school readiness test, and low on social communication skills. His language was also evaluated and he is extremely verbally proficient, but has a few speech impediments that require speech therapy. The team felt there were plenty of symptoms present to diagnose Autism, and although I don't believe the testing process was perfect, I definitely agree with the conclusion. Since his initial testing he has also had an occupational therapy evaluation, and it was determined that he has both a fine and gross motor delay, requiring OT once a week. He has started speech therapy. He will be starting swimming lessons to improve motor function and as a safety precaution since he has been known to wander, and piano lessons with a teacher familiar with ASD. She actually does music/social therapy for children with autism, but we decided to have her come to our house and do private music lessons before we try the group therapy. Finally we are trying very hard to find a social skills group, where several children with the same social struggles can get together to practice interaction with guidance from a qualified therapist. We are not really taking a break from school for the summer. There are several reasons why, including the fact that we will have a new baby Byrd in the Fall and want to be able to take it easy when baby comes home. More importantly, I feel like Henry will do better sticking to a routine. Here are our homeschool plans for the summer: Henry is 5 1/2 and we are telling him this is "First Grade", although you'll see we are using resources that are both above and below that level. Bible: Christian Light Education 200 series Math: Math-U-See Beta, Worksheets from Math for Gifted Students level 1 Grammar: First Language Lessons for the Well-Trained Mind Handwriting: Handwriting Without Tears K (we are repeating K because this was a struggle last year) Reading: Story Time Treasures Workbook from Memoria Press and accompanying Lit. titles, also just reading for interest Science: REAL Science for kids Biology Pre-level 1 History: SOTW Volume 1 (Honestly we've had a really difficult time getting into this. Henry is a very visual learner and has a hard time listening to the book, so we may have to focus on a timeline or another resource instead.) Social Studies: Christian Light Education 100 series Geography: We will just do a fun review of U.S. geography that we learned last year, and will start new world geography unit sometime next year Latin: Prima Latina, review Latin we learned in Classical Conversations last year
