I'm going to suggest the Homeschool route. There is only 1 support group where I live and it is pitiful---so I started my own (yep you can do that). Socialization comes from actually getting out there and becoming involved (sports, theatre, volunteer work), he CAN NOT be excluded from School sports by law and if you want him to take State Mandated tests, they must also let him (FCAT,SAT, etc)...they cannot legally bar him.
Let him have a hand in what he will learn and teach to his strenghts. That's the beauty of homeschool 'Learning at their pace'.

Good luck
