[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 33340, member: 2423"] I can't advise you on the school part -- I'm sure Martie and/or Sheila will be around to do that -- but I will tell you that many kids on the Autism Spectrum (Aspergers is considered on the Spectrum) have anxiety as part of their complex of symptoms. It sounds as if sensory issues plus anxiety may be fueling his oppositional behavior (and don't let anyone give him an ODD diagnosis -- it doesn't stand alone and oppositional behaviors generally subside once the underlying causes -- like anxiety -- are addressed). Your son may need therapeutic interventions and/or medications to cope with his anxiety. In case you hadn't considered this possibility, I just wanted to mention it. Good luck with the school.
