[Everything doTERRA] Help ! 4yrs old son

This is my second child diagnosed on the autism spectrum. 
I have tried a lot of things over the years. My oldest one (who is now 19yrs old) was a little more reasonable and compliant about things in general. He wanted to please. The second one is harder. This particular child will not take supplements of any kind. He barely even wants to eat sometimes. I am trying to modify his diet but it is really hard with him. 

So here is what we have to deal with and I need help NOW:
He bounces off the walls--can't stop moving. Jumps off furniture
Walks across the room and does somersaults
Hurts himself and others- have fallen down a huge flight of stairs, jumped out of a truck, hits and kicks people
Breaks things all the time-broke the mirrors in my truck, ripped out handles to cabinets/doors
Gets frequent bloody noses
Has loose stools frequently
Hits himself when frustrated
Lines objects up
Has had 20 hours of ABA therapy a week
Is in speech therapy 2.5 hours a week
delayed fine motor and with pretend play
Has major temper tantrums/rages
Gets overwhelmed with people and noises but can't play alone either
He yells/screams/whines no matter how much I put my foot down and not bend the rules.
Can't stop touching things/other people
Hoards 
Just bought him a terra cotta pendant today to wear around neck with EO ----just lost it at the park, can't tell me how, when or where about it. 
Is homeschooled (so I can have more flexibility in using EO throughout the day)
Walks in circles/paces
Think dairy and soy might make things worse-trial and error
Could care less about anyone;s feelings or pleasing anyone. 
Could care less if he hurt someone

Here is what we have used:
BALANCE --seems to help at first
Serenity-didn;t respond to this much
Elevation-this made him even crazier, but I do give him it when he is in a mental crying fit and sad
Rosemary-really don;t see much with this
Onguard-has kept him getting sick when others have been sick, he doesnt get sick too often though anyways
Peppermint-to help with his tummy issues, seems to be help firm up his BMs
Epson SALT Baths-these seem to mellow him out for about 5-15minutes but it makes his stools loose again
Massages-these also give him a relax mode as well of about 10 -20 minutes. 


What does other suggest? 
At wits end!
