Just a thought....have you looked at Henry's meds to see if any have the potential to effect the bone marrow. Also, has your doc checked for nutritional deficiencies. With the the food intolerances he has, it's very likely he does not absorb nutrients adequately. And many autistic children have metabolic issues which effect proper utilization/conversion of nutrients.
B12 (plus MMA & homocysteine), folate, B6, zinc, vit d, copper come to mind. Unfortunately, many doc will accept a low normal B12 serum as acceptable. But when you have the gluten issues and anemia, chances are you need B12. The MMA and Homocysteine levels, if high, are also indicative of a b12/folate deficiency.
