[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would have no problem talking to the parent volunteers and giving them tips on how to include him in a regular Sunday School class, but was hoping to find a church where they are already set up to work with kids like him and where he wouldn't be the only spectrum kid. He struggles all week to fit in at school, it would be nice to have one hour in the week where he doesn't have to worry about it and can just be one of God's children, loved and accepted for who he is.

Think about what you mean when you say "one of God's children."  Are you asking the church to overlook his disruptive behavior?  It sounds like you're expecting a better environment at church for your child than you have at school, even though there are trained professionals at school that you can't count on the church having.

Another factor to consider -- I've heard that autistic children often don't naturally take to religion that way a lot of children do because they are concrete thinkers who often don't "get" God.
