struggling to understand and react to sons outbursts

Hi all we are currently pealing the onion to get to the route of my sons behaviours, its been noted he is showing alot of autistic trates and coupled with his hearing issues porr little mite has not had a good start in life, he is now 7 and in main stream school but since the age of three been having outbursts of sheer anger and frustration and no matter whatmyself or wife tried to do it got worse, its been tough and even harder now hes at school we get all the pent up anger and frustration when hes home, he hates a change of routine and refuses point blank to go out at weekends unless he has been told well in advance all we get is major melt downs, just recently he has has started to throw a hissy fit and refuse to allow me to help him and shouts to not look at him whch is driving me to despair . has anyone else encountered this ? we have only now started down the road of gettinga  full diagnosis but feel helpless on what or how to react to help him, thankyou in advance for any help or advice

    Perhaps, from his point of view, he goes to school where dinner is served reliably at a particular time and all of the lessons run to the bell and then he comes home and can't work out when tea is going to be or even whether his father will be there. If his life is all about change then he may not cope very well.

    Does school say that he is well behaved or is he struggling there too?
