I came across the blog Autisable and thought it showed a good perspective from a parent's point of view.
The post I read on 'Discipline for those with autism' was interesting and it mentioned separating out behaviour that was deliberate and under the child's control from the others.
This is something Ros Blackburn, an adult autistic, mentioned when speaking at my old school. She did say that she got away with many deliberate behaviours as they were considered to be part of her autism, when in fact it was naughtiness.
Do have a read - I think you'll enjoy it, and make a comment if you think it's appropriate
