My son is on the spectrum.
He never went around damaging people’s property.
He/we were still accountable for his actions.
If anyone said, “I’m sorry, we will pay to fix it,” this would have ended differently.

I quite agree with you. Problem is they never do. They always make the “he’s autistic” excuse like that makes bad behavior okay and we are just suppose to accept it.
I work primarily with kids on the Spectrum. You are correct — the parents/guardians are using the “He’s autistic...” crap to try to make a cover for their crappy parenting. More likely, the kids a brain damaged drug baby.
Give me a classroom of students with ASD or Down Syndrome or a host of other diagnoses and I’m in Heaven. 99% of the time, they’re preferable to gen pop kids.
