My vote is no they shouldn't. Not every autistic person is at the level of an intellectual person. Some are intellectual. Many autistics have an high IQ level than an average intellectual. Autistic people do have meltdowns for a reason (sensory overloads, crowded areas, schedue changing, if a schedule is too demanding or if they are not getting enough down time and alone time, too much socializing). People are the main thing they struggle with.

What should you do for your autistic child?

The best thing that you can do for your autistic child is to learn about autism from autistic people - completely and utterly ignore anything that organisations like Autism Speaks tells you about autism, they are known as a hate group by the autistic community and cause a lot of harm by spreading false information and negative messages about autism. Always presume competence and don't treat autism like it is a negative trait.

Should people treat autism as a tragedy?

Many parents do struggle with their autistic child and are concerned about their future. Autism doesn't mean a child/adult who is mentally handicapped. Autistic brains think different and many autistic people only deserved to be understood and not treated like they're sick or handicapped. Autistic children/adults are not sick or handicapped. Many parents should try to understand their autistic child instead of being scared all the time.

Is there a school for boys with autism?

There are very few specific schools that are strictly for autism, however there are special education schools. I work with someone who sends their child to a special school that knows how to treat autism as well as other learning disorders. They have special training in how to teach kids with different abilities. Try looking into a school more like this and you should be able to find one.
