staying at home to care for son

My name is Mark. I am the father of a 10 yr old autistic son named Matthew. I have recently been forced to leave my job because I was having to take of so much from work for Matthew. We live in a very small town and resources here are limited as far as special needs childcare. I have decided my best option is to either find somewhere that will let me work from home, or come up with some sort of home based business. I have tried or looked into the offers you see on the net, tv, and radio, and for the most part they are scams or want you to put up "start up" money that sounds fishy to me. Surely I am not the only parent in this situation so I was curious if anyone had any advise or ideas that might help me.
