Have you read any of what Temple Grandin has written about medications for Autism? I just read something she wrote on that subject that was fascinating! Although I'd definitely say to go with a much lower dose than what's prescribed for depression, I'd look into if further if I were you, especially since your son is still young enough to correct some of the sensory processing problems he may be having.
She also writes a LOT about epilepsy and autism, undiagnosed epilepsy which doesn't usually show up on EEGs unless the patient has a seizure on the table.
Honestly, Spriggy, this is a subject very close to my heart, and I hope that you will consider whether to look into other drugs to help lower your son's internal distress before he hits puberty.
Sorry if it's out of line to say any of that, but I hope it was useful info for you.
