[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]but there are times when he acts out. His parents don't talk about the diagnosis, or really address behavior problems.  Which makes it difficult for the other kids in the group to understand why he "gets away" with things. [/quote]

When kids don't accept/like something , they act out! Steve Jobs used to have tantrums in his 50s(http://www.cultofmac.com/453556/453556/ ) , It's good to be autistic if it makes a person successful like Steve jobs [/quote]

Steve Jobs acting out at 50 is different than kids on the spectrum having behavior challenges.

In this case, you probably do not know what is going on behind the scenes. IT is very hard to deal with behavior problems (I know from firsthand experience), especially when traditional behavior modifications do not work. There is most likely a lot of work being done by these people behind the scenes, and they may not be willing to offer up information for you. In this case, our school would say "Larlo is having a rough day and not making the best choices."  The child isn't "getting away" with anything, he just doesn't respond to behavior modifications.
