Would it be worth setting up nanny cams throughout your house to video document his behaviour? Perhaps if the professionals can see long term evidence of just how difficult life is rather than just a snapshot here and there, it might help your case?

Could temporary foster care be an option where he's the only child. Just to give you all a break for a couple of weeks and a chance to regroup..
Apologies if this has already been discussed.
I wish you all the best, it sounds so incredibly difficult.

I haven't read everything but just to say I'm so sorry you are going through this. A women I know has been through this her son did get accepted into care but even then it's been a rough ride. Firstly he got somewhere nearby seemed a great fit until they said they couldn't meet need. Then he got moved nearly two hours away. Then they couldn't meet need. He got moved back to our area but put in an air bnb with two carers 24 hours a day . I haven't seen her since but I believe he's in a local residential now. It's been a complete nightmare for them.
