Our eldest son struggled with dyslexia issues and was given a test to see if he could get extra time etc in exams. He actually tried hard in the test for this and therefore was refused extra time.
Our youngest, who also had bad writing skills but who has always been more cunning, knew that he should try and fail the test and therefore successfully gained extra time by doing really badly in the test.
It may be that your son tried his hardest to show how good he is rather than playing the game and not trying very hard at the relevant moment when he was being tested.
People with ASD often are sometimes too honest for their own good.
