Oh gosh, Treehugger, that's hard. From the very, very little I understand about autism, could it be that the noise of the fridge working in the kitchen grates terribly, or that the washing machine sounds as loud as a thunderstorm? Does he believe that water is contaminated? (Does he drink water from the tap?) Is the mattress on his bed too soft so he feels as if he is sinking or the space beneath the bed doesn't allow a flow of air/too much air or whatever?
I suppose that your son cannot explain to you what is that out of kilter for him. Sorry, I'm probably talking rubbish.
Can't remember if you have gone down the Autism society/charity path yet. Any clues or help there? I hope you will find some help and support somewhere.
Hugs.
