I guess nowadays my son would be charged with assault with a deadly apple and sent off for rehabilitation.
I was proud of him.


Good for your son! :D

There was another story about an autistic facing charges for assault and it turned out he had a history of conduct. I wonder the same about this child.

This is exactly why Oppositional Defiant Disorder or Conduct Disorder should only be diagnosed if the behavioral problems are very serious or dangerous and cause distress, not just normal brain development, as children and teenagers before age 15+ are immature and impulsive to a mild degree and that is normal as children at those times develop a sense of right and wrong and more empathy and loyalty for others.

Mild behavioral issues can be Oppositional Defiant Disorder or Conduct Disorder if there is atypical or arrested development or other neurodevelopmental disorders or neurological disorders that can explain criminal behaviors from early childhood before age 15+

Well we all know autistic people and criminal behavior are heavily linked to each other, right now he's slapping a kid for pushing him, later he could be shooting up the whole school. Sarcasm. :roll:

All he was having mild misconduct, which is not a mental illness, he was meant to be friendly.
