He will also have soccer this fall if the practices fit into our schedule. It is kind of low on my priority list but it was one of the first things I signed him up for. If it works, great. If not, great.
He will also have 1:1 therapy time with his new therapist for our new perspective taking therapy program we are starting. She will work with him 10-15 hrs per week but about 1/2 of those will be within our activities and classes. The other 1/2 will be at home around the house.
It seems like a lot but OTOH I am homeschooling him because I want him to work on the social stuff. He will have some down time. And, he should see his time with his new therapist when they are at home as fun down time with his "buddy" as we are calling her. The evenings we are at home I plan to make very relaxing with dinner at home (minimal eating out) and lots of fun family time playing outside and whatnot.
What do you guys think? Too much? Not enough? Just right? I know it is hard to know since you don't know Jake but your input is still appreciated.

(BTW, I'm not worried about getting our academics done. I think that will be more than enough time at the pace he works at.)
