Nothing.
If I have children and they are like me (i.e on the spectrum) then I will homeschool them.
School was by far the worst time of my life and also contributed the least to my success. I succeeded in spite of traditional schooling, mostly due to the great nature of my parents (who unfortunately just didn't have the capacity or economical means to homeschool me.)
Enduring my schooling years didn't make me stronger it just left me with deep emotional scars that took years to come to terms with.
My partner has early age teaching experience and we are equipped to school our children if that is how things turn out.
Socialization is definitely a concern but I think it can be adequately addressed through sports, activity groups and extended family.
Of course if my children are normal then maybe none of this will be necessary and a normal school will be what is best for them.

My parents both worked, but they were so shocked by how little we learned in schools that they'd spend the evenings tutoring my brother and I, such that, by the time we learned anything in school, we had already learned it. Ultimately, we were homeschooled, and school was daycare.
