I worked with a male: Pediatrician who would tell moms of neurotypical boys, "don't worry, it's just a stage...That will last the rest of his life". To extinguish masturbation in public, dress him in overalls or pants he can't undo. Ask his bcba ; teacher to help you find an incompatible behavior for him to do when any of you has to re-direct him (calmly) with "hands on desk" , "quiet hands" , etc. Be consistent.
