DearWe understand your concernsI went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much in this regard. You should take your son to a psychiatrist if you are sure about the symptoms.

You can search internet to find the symptoms and you can do some diagnosis. In any case, you need expert assessment and advice.You might need psychological counseling and or psychotherapy.
