Welcome, officially! (You and I have been in contact before, of course.)

As a new poster, your posts may be hung up a few days until you have 5 posts, which is probably why you haven't seen any responses.

Some posters here have consulted with Dr. Silverman. One hopes you will hear from some of them shortly.

As you know, I do feel that homeschooling, temporarily or long-term, can sometimes be in the best interest of 2e children, especially when they are at the point where school is essentially a daily traumatic experience for them. Accomplishing a particular amount of curricular material is, under those circumstances, a fairly low priority. Healing emotionally, and rediscovering the joy of learning, are the principal aims. After that, it's finding a supportive, individualized approach to remediating the other exceptionality(ies), while freeing gifts to develop unrestricted. Conventional academic accomplishment is much more likely to follow then.

On a practical level, this often looks like a few days to weeks of detoxing from school, spending his time doing whatever activities give him joy and help him to feel most accepted and most himself. Once you start up school again, homeschooling can look like self-directed/interest-led learning, or literature-based learning, or a collection of focused workbooks, or many visits to museums, parks, and libraries, or structured online schooling, or many other things.

You might consider contacting a local homeschool organization, such as https://www.nychea.org/ (which is a secular group; if having a particular faith orientation in the group is of value to you, you should be able to find a group with a similar bent (e.g., Christian, Jewish, Muslim)). The community of homeschoolers is generally eager to help new homeschooling families acclimate.
