At various points we have considered pulling our DS out of public school to homeschool, and we haven't done it. Our therapy team thinks, and we agree, that there is real value for a person with Asperger's in having to learn to follow the social rules that are a huge part of the school environment. Those rules are very like the arbitrary but important rules that happen in workplaces. Lots of adults with AS can't hold jobs because the arbitrary rules and social stuff drive them crazy, so learning to cope with that aspect of life is a crucial skill.
This is exactly our reason for continuing in public school for now. My ASD son is 9.
