public education has to foot that all, that's why that $7500 is a meaningless, bureaucratic number, it's not that simple.
And who's to say the private school his folks may want to send him to will even want to deal with his disability? the public schools have to deal with students such as he and I, and foot the costs for it, the private school doesn't.

Which part of 'they get a bigger voucher' didn't you get?
Lets say it costs 30k for him a year, and I have NO idea. Thats money spent, and if its spent at a private school so what?
Also what you people don't understand is that the government can regulate a private school far better then a public one. The public schools even beyond the problem of the pathetic teachers unions are being monitored by the same government that creates them. They WANT the schools to look good on paper, and I don't think you need to dig to deep to find case of schools scores being inflated or cheating being allowed to do better on tests.
The government can still mandate that schools have programs for autistic children, can still have test scores, can still have inspectors, and unlike a government school, if a private school fails they can get closed, and parents can move their children.
