My eldest has Asperger's Syndrome and he learned really quick that if he acts up he leaves(it also worked with my typical 6 yr old). We put alot of work into my Aspie(he's 11 now) and he has learned how to behave. He yelled at a younger kid for bumping into him waiting in line for Peter Pan ride. DH made him appologize to the kid, the parents said it wasn't neccesary, but we insisted.
Trust me it still isn't easy and we have spent a ton of money on therapy for social skills and obsessive compulsive behavior. He's made friends at school, hardly goes to the resource room, did great on the state tests(he just gets extra time) and is an A/B student. Off to brief him for the 3rd time today about him being a "good big brother" since his brother starts K tommorrow and they have to ride the bus together.
