I don't believe there is any one school specific to children with Autism, however, you may want to contact The SchoolHouse for Children with special needs. There should be a number in the phone book.

Thanks guys. Its so hard to find someplace or professionals in Barbados that are equipped to help. I was thinking to home school my son but I would like him to get exposure

depending on his level of Autism, you may also check with some private school to see if he can be integrated into the infant years classes.. you may need a "teaching assistant" specifically there for your child, which you would have to pay for, not the school. but I know it's been done before.
