Discipline of my (mildly) Autistic Son

by Denise
(Eagan, Mn, USA)

my son gets intense in-home behavior therapy and their faulty philosophy is there should be no consequences for bad choices and he should be redirected to the proper behavior. We are in the process of getting rid of them but 1st need a plan in place to home school and teach him and parent him.

Can you help us know where to start in our plans? We are new parents and are unsure of ourselves and want the best for him. I believe in spanking but don't want to use it the wrong way or too often, for instance:
he says he has to potty but then he doesn't go, this is usually when he doesn't want to do what he's doing (to avoid working, etc.)

He will be 6 in may.
