Bed Punishment Was the Boy likely to have been Autistic?

I have never really been in charge of children but a woman seven years ago in 2014 who was disturbed and many problems and was homeless asked to stay with me. I did know her a bit so she was not a woman off the streets.  One evening she shouted on the phone at her mother.  I did not like listening to the shouting and wanted to keep her warm and safe but not happy or entertained.  She said she was going into a room for a rest. It was about 9 PM I told her to stay in her bed all night.  She kept running to the toilet and I saw her sad face through my living room door.  When I went to bed she continued running to the toilet been noisy talking to herself.  In the morning she brought me a cup of tea. She behaved like a sweet teenage girl been sent to bed for punishment.  The next evening she wanted to stay in her room.  I said you have not been shouting so let's play scrabble.  We stayed up late playing scrabble and she was very happy.  I treated this disturbed woman like a schoolgirl.  Going by this experience sending children or adults to bed before their bedtime is not a good idea as they might keep the house awake without meaning to as they are upset.  I told her mother about it on the phone but the mother was very interested but it turned out that she did not bring her up so she would not have even sent her to her room.
