Brief Answer:
Proper understanding of the condition by caregivers is important

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. Autism is an issue that can be hard to deal. It is not unusual for such a child to get out of control. This makes inclusive education difficult. However, you need to talk to the school authorities and arrange for a special educator if required. Cognitive behavioral therapy and group therapy (as administered by a psychologist) would also prove useful. If the school authorities can be made aware of the issues, I do not think that treating him like a regular child would be a big deal.

Let me know if I could help further.
