    it sounds as though you are having a tough time with your son. :-(

    have you joined any parent support groups for ASD parents and carers? Perhaps it would help if you had more of a support network?

    your son is very young so he really won't have any idea about death so you mustn't hold that against him. He is also more inwardly focused than most children so he will find it difficult to do the loving son thing.
