Is there a correlation between Autism and Sugar craving?
No.
Agreed. No. There isn't but...
It's something you're going to want to get a handle on fast because whether he is autistic or not, addictive behaviors could be something he's prone to. It sounds like he already is. My eldest was, and still is (he's 22 now). The only way I could "handle" it was to keep sugars OUT of the house totally. No soda, no candy. Period. He did fine as long as the stuff wasn't available. If it was, he couldn't keep his hands off it. I would get it out of the house if I were you. Sugar dependency, especially if he develops it early, will eventually kill him if you don't control it quickly.
