I suspected bullying after I read the original post. Even though it has been dealt with it the emotional pain and resentment linger especially if the bullying has been chronic. Maybe the bullies are still be bothering him.
Most people with autism are deeply sensitive. Their struggles with socializing and obsessions usually isolate them and make them targets. The taunting isn't benign. It can be very painful and often leaves scars for life. Your grandson must feel like he cannot take it anymore and is having difficulty finding the words to express his hurt and frustrations. Someone needs to ask him what is bothering him and how he feels. The solutions should include his input. He needs to know that people are hearing him.
My advice is genuine, because I have ASD.
P.S. If your grandson wants to use a pen to do his math the teacher should let him.
