Children with severe autism/aspergers can display disturbing behaviour as you have described.

With autism they are not aware of other people's feelings or what is or isn't socially acceptable. It needs to be taught,(repetition, over and over) with patience and understanding from their point of view. And yes you need caring professionals to help you. |
(((dayandnight)))))) (((pegs))) is correct.
With my son , he only had PDD. The younger years were hard. Not as hard as yours sound thou and my heart goes out to you.
It takes so much patience which i know you have, Repetition pegs is correct on that all the way.
One of the most wonderful thing that helped my son. Was the help I got from friends on how they dealt with my son. Even thou no oneand I mean no one could understand him when he talked . They listened to him. Took as much time as he needed some how they communcated with him with such understanding,
Even when my son did not get it the patience everyone showed was remarkable.
My heart goes out to you and your son.
Remember to take care of you which I know is so very hard.
I still get up with my son as he still at 18 walks in his sleep. close to every night. Not at all what you are going threw thou....but it wears on me.
Please know there is hope. And love will help him which i know you give.

Never give up as it was along road for my son....it can get better
yours will make with you as his mom
