Hello!
Welcome on HCM!
You should know that the first signs of autism begin at the age of three. Which means that it is quite impossible for your son to suffer from autism.
In my opinion, your son's problem could be related to anxiety or depression. Maybe he is going through a stressful situation.
I recommend consulting with a psychiatrist for a careful exam and psychiatric evaluation.
Hope to have been helpful!
Wishing good health!
