Unlike NT kids, our kids would never associate dual punishment in connection with the offense, once it's done it's done...so i wouldn't punish a second time...but, i do think he needs to be aware that you know what is going on, that may be as simple as him hearing the teacher explain the situation to you...

That's what we did - we would treat any issue dealt with at school as done when he came home. We would talk about it if he wanted to, but we would not discipline twice for one issue.

I think that teachers should deal with what happens at school. This is their job after all. Do not put extra pressure on your relation with your child by disiplining an extra time. cheers!!!!!

A MyAutis...

We have a large board in our hallway with each child's name on it (I will try to post a picture) the discipline wasn't working at school and my twins were way out of control until they started "getting in trouble for it at home too". Their entire day counts and school & home are in close contact with each other. If the chart changes at school....it changes at home too and the twins know this. They start on green each day and green means they get treats, tv, video games....whatever. If they hit yellow....everything for the day is now cut in half and bedtime is 1/2 hour earlier too. If they hit red....there are no special treats...... No desserts..... No TV.....no video games.....ect and bedtime if an hour earlier. Now my twins are considered high functioning autism so this may not work for others. Again I think it depends on the situation and the child. My youngest (brain damage & epilepsy) if he gets in trouble at school...it doesn't carry to home because like said above .....he wouldn't remember it and the punishment would just confuse him.
