Sounds like he might need behavior therapy if he's not already getting it, and that can hopefully help him to get a little better at communicating. If not maybe they need to think about residential placement. I know it's been on my mind since my autistic son (12) is overly aggressive and out of control when at home. I know placement is coming.
