    I was imagining that you were describing a child in distress following some traumatic events. You may be thinking that his behaviour is autistic but it is actually the behaviour of an autistic child in distress and perhaps that is what you think an autistic child is like? If the family environment and school environment are sorted out and calm and supportive then he may become a much happier and secure child.

    I was also making a very speculative suggestion that autistic behaviour in one of the parents may have contributed to the breakup of that relationship.

    The trauma and difficulties experienced by autistic people often persist for many years through several generations of a family. If the condition is recognised then the cycle of trauma can be stopped in its tracks.
