i think it would be ok , but that sounds like something you will need to talk to his teacher about . if the child needs to be picked up early ( medically ) you can talk to his doctor and he might would be able to write you a doctors note

You and I both know that children with autism have exceptional needs and quirks. If the purpose of releasing him early is due to schedudling issues, for him or yourself, or others in teh family, of course it is ok. Sometimes, being released at teh end of the day with the rest of the crowd, the noise, the buses, etc. is overwhelming. ANd at the end of the day, academics are routinely completed. However, make sure that he is not missing an integral piece of organization, such as book bag pcking, hw, etc. If so, this will interrupt his organizational skills, that the teacher is trying to reinforce and can be harmful. Most importantly, if you are going to take him out early, then make sure he is released early the same time everyday. wther he can tell time or not, they have a sense of routine, and after a particular event has occured that if his cue to go home. Otherwise, the shift in routine can be upsetting.
Weigh the pros and cons. Determine what the purpose of the early release is for. Do you special permission from administration to be on campus? Determine the same routine daily, whether you are to get him, or they will bring him out. Moms know best. Remember that.

i cannot see how that should be considered acceptable. perhaps there are important details you did not list. does your child need medication within the time period, and cannot take it during an earlier period during the day such as lunch? that might be an acceptable excuse, but even then, i would question it. it just depends on weather or not you have a good reason.
you do want your child to grow up and have as normal of a life as possible, correct? are you sure pulling your child out everyday early, and making it so he cannot ever leave the classroom at the very end of the day and say goodbye to everyone is going to help him to grow up to relate and feel like everyone else? i would imagine if it did anything it would only prolong a normal or healthy life.
more importantly, why do you have to ask, you cannot justify this problem in your own mind? you have to ask someone else if its alright? how can it be (alright), if you cant honestly say to yourself, and mean it, that this is the best thing for your child? sometimes your answer is in your own question.

the only reason I would even consider it is if you have therapy/specialists appointments that you need to make. I would still suggest trying to reschedule them to work with the school schedule, but know from experience that isn't always possible.
For any other reason, then no. Part of autism is the need for a steady schedule and following routine. Pulling your child ou early will not only disrupt his routine and his concentration, it will disrupt the rest of the class as well.

If you have a valid reason, such as he needs to see a counselor, or he needs medical attention exactly at that time of day.
Doing so because it's convenient for you, would not be appropriate.
If it were up to me, I'd want him in class for the same amount of time that all the other kids are in class.
