By establishing boundaries for the child, you are helping them to learn what is expected from them and how to behave in society. This is necessary for the child to grow into a responsible adult.

Boundaries are absolutely essential, but with children with autism it is the adults that need to respect their boundaries. They can not change who they are. Do I let my children run into the street or speak rudely to adults or hurt other people, absolutely not. It if they are physically unable to communicate or don’t want to be touched I am going to respect that and not force it upon them.
