    His parents seperated suddely at Christmas and since then behaviours have rapidly worsened. However he was biting himselfe and pushing others, he has been slow with development in all areas.

    He has not mentioned his daddy since he left but has mentioned other nanny etc

    The period before the split up is likely to have been stressful/traumatic and the sudden disappearance of his father would also be stressful. His mother is also likely still distressed and he will therefore have gone through a lot of upset. Sadly, it's not too surprising that he is reacting badly.

    Autism is often inherited from one or both parents. It is an unfortunate fact that people with autism often have traumatic lives and struggle to maintain relationships and it may be that the split up is an example of that.
