Hi... treatment of Autism is more of psychological training Than drug therapy. I suggest you get your son evaluated by paediatric clinical psychologist. After the assessment your son needs to be given psychological training and support. Training will be directed even to the parents in the aspect of how to behave and improve your son's condition. He might also require hearing evaluation and speech therapy too.
