I would suggest you speak to your gp for a referral or contact children's services
Does he go to school or nursery if so have they given you any feedback

Firstly, just to let you know, I've moved your post into our category for discussions relating to autism.
What kind of support from the council do you think you could benefit from? As Janer1967 has said, your GP is a good place to start, as they should be able to point you towards local services and how to access them.
You may also be interested in looking into some of Scope's family services, such as Parents Connect or Navigate. You're certainly not the only parent to find yourself in this challenging situation, and so talking things through with someone who understands can be really beneficial.
