There are a few cases of real autism, then a bunch of kids that just need some significant discipline. And a lot of idiot school administrators.
You’re joking, right? Perhaps you are confusing autism with ADHD. Autism has NOTHING to do with being undisciplined or just a behavioral problem. It is a terrible disorder which short of a miracle of God, cannot be controlled by medication, and at its worst, requires specialized treatment plans and special schooling. At its best, which is probably Aspergers, its victims are high functioning, but still have difficulties processing sensory stimuli.
ADHD, on the other hand, is probably frequently misdiagnosed, and often results in behavioral problems. True ADHD can be at least partially controlled by medication, and behavioral methods. Some kids who have been diagnosed with it, are actually just poorly behaved kids, as a result of poor parenting or an unusually strong willed child, or even an emotionally or physically abused child who is acting out their anger and fear as a cry for help. But the true ADHD kid, is not just an out of control brat, he is genuinely impaired.
You are making the same mistake that so many others are. You are trying to cover kids with behavior problems with the protective blanket of the ‘spectrum’.
Kids with real autism have real problems.
‘High functioning’ kids who misbehave has parents who have bought a ‘spectrum’ diagnosis to cover their shortcomings as parents.
