I did a post grad diploma on issues like Fetal alcohol syndrome, autism, adhd, addiction and maladaptive developmental environments. Started a masters on the protective factors the help people avoid recidivism leaving prison but never finished as I changed countries during that time. In my new country I worked with youths at a youth protection foundation and then moved into schools working as a special needs teacher for students with learning difficulties in a regular school environment.
So I didn't need my masters in the end.
What you really really need to do is stop assuming you know everything when you are relying upon your own anecdotes and go out and get some experience.
Any learning difficulty that disrupts a learning environment MUST be addressed

The vocalizing is the root of the problem. Science is on my side of this discussion. Sorry.

While I commend you for an heroic approach I am pointing out here that OP (and possibly OPs parents) have made a clear mistake. There is no way any child should be physically attacked in class for expressing their own frustrations at a clearly frustrating environment.
If OP cant control their audible outbursts then it is necessary to move OP (and maybe some of the other noisy students) to something similar to a "high tempo" style class.

You seem to be aware that your behavior is disruptful (occasionally making loud noises) but you seem to have decided that's acceptable, why is that?
Sadly the commenter below ended up rage blocking me. Here is the last comment intended for her, hopefully she reads it...
Look you were the one who asked me to elaborate on how I knew about science and autism, thats why I brought up my education and work experience. And you are the one clinging to your own anecdotes some sort of evidence that you must know everything about schooling environments. Where you are using your own family history as some sort of bible about how you know best. Which is both incredibly arrogant and exactly the type of thing you should have learnt not to do by now if you truly are only 2 university level papers short of your degree.
The learning environment is for all students, ALL. That means the ones who are not disrupting the class have just as much right to learn and be distraction free as the ones who cannot control their outbursts. Like I said above, if a student is in able of adjusting their behavior to meet the rules of one particular class environment then a more suitable classroom environment should be made available to them.
That's what I know, that's what the literature says, that's what boards of education recommended and that's what works.
What doesn't work is some half educated parent marching into a school and defending her child's inappropriate behavior and shielding them behind a diagnosis. That helps no one and is the source of the majority of frustrations teachers and administrators face regularly.
Now kindly pull your head out of your ass and realize that you and your kids are part of society, not the center of it.
And you seem not to know what anecdote means.

Do you know what anecdote means?
