"Bad handling of transitions (something very autistic), including things like getting out of bed or getting to sleep." this makes me thinking. My son seems to have the same problem. How to deal as a parent with it? After he had finally managed the transition everthing is fine with him again (full blown tantrum before). I try to focus on the positive sides of his personality, however it is not easy...
