You have to figure out what is ASD related and what is actual poor behavior choices. You cannot discipline ASD as those behaviors cannot be helped.
I'm hijacking a little, sorry--but how do you make that determination?
Whoa, I want to back up a little here.
My family's perspective is that ASD behaviors must be addressed through "discipline"-- discipline comes from the word "disciple," one who is taught.
No matter why the behavior is happening, if it's socially undesirable, the person has to learn to not do that, or at least to choose very carefully when to do it because there are negative consequences for doing it.
This is fundamentally a *teaching* process (not punishment). It involves helping them see what is expected of them and to do that.
