    If he is coping well and doesn't require special attention at the moment then it could mean that he is managing the condition with his effort, his teachers' efforts and your efforts all together. This sounds like a good place to be as it isn't great to have to rely on 'special measures' throughout his life.

    One thought, has he stopped eating any particular food or drink? There are theories that some foods can make autism much worse and that behaviour can be dramatically changed by changing his diet. If he has stopped eating or drinking something then this might explain a significant improvement in behaviour.

    Your earlier description sounded very clear that he was quite affected. Has his hand flapping etc stopped or is he just much better able to concentrate and get on with school life?

    Another thought is that our (ASD) behaviour can depend on our environment. You attended some "parenting" lessons and he has probably changed teachers. Are you better at dealing with him than you were before? Is his teacher better at dealing with him?

    The condition won't have gone away but his behaviour can be dramatically changed by lots of different factors. Try not to think of it as something wrong him but that he is different to the others and the differences can be good as well as bad.
