Wow, you have your hands full. Lucky boys to have such a persistent
and attentive parent!

Too bad most kids are given Ritalin and other such drugs, quite often
at a very early age. We have to wonder what will happen to them as
they grow older.

As for autism, are you maintaining a gluten-free diet for your son?
There hasn't been proof that Autism and Celiac Disease are related but
it appears that a gluten-free diet can help with autism.

Good luck to you! :)
