He was doing good for a while in school... he was doing better behavior wise and everything. He was still having a hard time connecting with the other kids, but he was trying. Today his teacher called me and told me that he smirked at her when she was talking to him about him lying to her...then she took away his centers for today and tomorrow.. he thought that was funny. So she had him turn and face the wall and then he stuck his tongue out at her so she made him eat his lunch in the office.
I've noticed that he's been being more of a handful at home the past couple of weeks too. I really don't understand why. I don't know if i should have him tested for something or what? I don't even know how to go about it.....
Anyone have any advice because right now i'm feeling like a total failure.

As the mom of a child with mild autism, I understand. My oldest just does not get social situtations. People forget that autism isn't all Rainman, it is primarily a social disorder. Since he's having trouble making friends and behaving inapproriately in social situations, but academically understanding the material, you might want to talk to an OT or other specialist that specializes in children with autism/asberger's syndrome. I would not blow this off if your gut is saying he has no understanding of social situtations. Right now, he is little enough to learn the social skills that will help him through adolesance that is so difficult anyway, but even harder for kids who can't read social clues.
