I need help with this IEP for an Autism case study. any help at all would be greatly appreciated?

I'm curious, is this a case study for school or is this a real life situation? For what it's worth, the federal law does not state that objectives are needed for goals. Although, it may be a district's policy to have IEP's written with at least 2 supporting objectives per goal. Most districts would require at least 2 because having 1 objective would simply be another goal. Anyway, as for teaching methods, try using age appropriate social stories. As for the comm, I would consult with the school's SLP, but social stories can be worked here, as well. Accommodations to consider would be things like frequent breaks, a token economy system (this can also help with the behavior and social skills, as well), the use of a behavior plan for the outbursts and running. The adult istance also is considered an accommodation. Before formally putting in the IEP, I would recommend having a facilitator at the meeting to authorize this type of accommodation. The needs of these types of kids can vary so much because it is on a spectrum. Some are not impacted that much, like Asperger Syndrome kids, some are extremely impacted and need istance with every aspect of daily life, and some can be savants. Autism is incredibly interesting, yet we know so little about it. I can be of more istance if you can give me more info.
