He is entitled to DLA and anyone caring for him (whilst he is in receipt of DLA middle rate and above) and on a low wage would be entitled to Carer's Allowance.
My 12 year old son who has Aspergers Syndrome gets DLA care component at the middle rate,so your son should too,he may have to claim it for himself with help from someone else to fill in the form though.
