He sounds like an average Gamer to me. (my brother was like that at that age, but he has settled down now)
Listen to Karin's advice.
Hello paulponty,
I'm sorry to hear about your son's behaviour. Individuals on the spectrum can often display behaviour that may be challenging. There will generally be a reason for this and it is important to try and understand the trigger for the behaviour when developing strategies.
You may like to have a look at the following link for more information on behaviour and strategies:
http://www.autism.org.uk/living-with-autism/understanding-behaviour.aspx
We also have a page on our website that centres around physical challenging behaviour. Including the possible causes, as well as strategies and interventions you can adopt to improve his behaviour: www.autism.org.uk/.../challenging-behaviour.aspx
You may find it useful to have a look at our behaviour guidelines and general behaviour page:

Hope this helps. All the best,
