Some will say "yes", some will say "no" and since there's no "official" answer (that I'm aware of) past threads on this topic have continued ad infinitum.

IMO, you cannot miss a base until you pass it. However you shouldn't count the run until he reaches it. So, If he walks toward the dugout before reaching home, then sees the error of his way (as long as he wasn't physically assisted) and proceeds to touch home, count the run, If he makes it
all the way into the dugout, call him out..But never count the run until he touches or passes the plate. That's how I would handle this.
