You're at a disadvantage because usually family members have a kid's whole lifetime to understand how he operates and you have been tossed into it. I'm guessing you don't have much experience with little kids either and just the average little kid can be hard to figure out.

One of the problems is he is out of his normal routine. Autistics need sameness. Fixed schedules and routines. And even if he is happy with the tractors he's also in an environment and house he's not used to and with people that are new to him. That alone can cause erratic behavior, mood swings and meltdowns etc.

Here's an image I drew of how my autistic brain works:

its not normal for people with autism to do that. So its probably just himself

It's not uncommon for an autistic kid to behave differently at school than home. The kid can operate better at school than home or vice versa. In this case it's farm vs home. But I don't know specifically why that happens.

You're not even close to being a pain. A million questions is to be expected. Even parents have lots of questions about why this and why that. And even people who have autism are puzzled by their own behavior and quirks. That's why this site exists. I think your situation is very interesting. What I hate is when someone comes on with an interesting situation and then just disappears.

You are not being a pain in any way. One of the main reasons this site exists is for people to ask questions and get answers.
