Answers:
It really does sound like Autism to me. And I do agree with the person who mentioned Sensory Integration Dysfunction as well. Your best bet would be to have your son evlauated at a Behavioral Clinic or by a Developmental Pediatrician. Many people don't realize that a lot of children with Autism do start out as 'talkers'; but begin to lose their vocabulary. That's one of the biggest indicators of Autism. But, whether it be Autism or something else, please remember that he's not being 'bad' or 'misbehaving'. He's not even 2 years old yet. And if there truly is something going on with him Neurologically, he has no control over it. I wish you and your son the best of luck.

we have an autistic that lives here in ohio. it kinda sounds like it might be the same thing but not really. hmm. not sure what to say
