As the parent of an autistic teenager behaviors have been a way of life. It's how you react. My son is expected to be polite in school and he is. When he wasn't there was a consequence of course being a teen he tested the limits but once he understood his teacher and I would communicate by email and I would know what happened before he even got home they were few and far between. When in Disney we give him expectation of how we want to spend the day and follow it and well except for some typical bro/sis needling all is usually well during the week. Believe me if you do not curb this behavior FAST the kids will escalate it until he gets his or her way. I've seen it happen with my own child he was really going at it one day and my beloved DH wanted to give in but I knew I couldn't (these are long stories of his issues so I'll cut to the chase) and now years later he is a wonderful young man with some now typical teenage issues, all that hard work really paid off.
