Autistic Son points at ears during cold

2020-10-29 18:59:33
My 11 year old non verbal son is autistic and has sensory processing disorder. Whenever he has cold, he points at his ears and cries. He scratches me and pinches me. Please advise what could the issue be with his ears specially during cold and if there is any permanent treatment for this. Is there any medicine to make him speak. He has a very good voice but only makes meaningless sounds.
