Best placement for a child with high-functioning autism?

What do you think is the best thing for a child with high functioning autism? A class of only other high functioning asd kids who will have some behavior problems he might copy, but he also might make good friends and feel comfortable there; part-time school / part-time homeschool; or full-time homeschool. Part-time self-contained/pt inclusion is not an option because he has no academic problems, just behavior and social ones, and the autism rooms are only for lower-functioning kids.
He has been in full-time inclusion for the past few years, but it doesn’t seem the best fit, I think the negatives of the social experience outweigh the positives.
