Even stranger- my cousin with the autistic child also homeschools.

Someone cue Sting.

It does make sense for several reasons (the farm connection.) The
rythm of farm life gives both parents big blocks of time to spend with
the child. The child can safely be in the workplace (relatively
safely, anyway.) No commute, no boss to give you a hard time if you
have to jiggle the schedule.

There's a deeper reason that may also apply to your cheesemonger (or
is he a cheesemaker?) Whole food, natural food approaches are popular
complementary treatments for Autism. Not a cure of course, but there
seems to be some therapuetic benefits. I know my little cousin Alan
has benefitted from an improved diet. So farming is a good way to
control the autistic child's food supply.
