Possible Autistic child hitting out constantly at nursery

NAS64919

3 and a half. Undiagnosed until 7 at least we are told

Every day he's hitten, bitten lashed out,. Kicked... Scratched 

Every day we explain about kind hands, what he is doing... Have tried time out / no books. Nothing seems to have any effect. Will get him to explain what he has done and why it isn't acceptable and it's the exact same tomorrow. 

One non verbal child in particular he seems to rub up against the wrong way. Despite idolising our child he constantly attacks him.

But none of this is deemed severe enough for support. 

The thought of school in 9 months seems laughable.

Any similar situations?

Love
