I’m poking my head in again. I’m just curious. If his mother suspected autism and is a nurse why wasn’t he ever properly diagnosed as autistic? Most parents who suspect a condition will get it diagnosed by a doctor. So, he hasn’t been properly diagnosed, none of us here can diagnose him, and he’s exhibiting abusive traits, which include very controlling behavior and cruelty. That’s all any of us can really say without more info right? I would personally want a diagnosis.
