It's all connected, sidhe. Yes, my son also had major sensory issues aside from pain, including visual, tactile, vestibular, and proprioceptive. And you know what? When we pulled the allergens out of his system... about 90% of those sensitivities--and the behaviors they subsequently led to--went away. I've known other kids whose sensory issues didn't go away until they peed a thermometer while on chelation drugs.

Consider it this way: when you are drunk, is it neurological? Yes, in the sense that it is your brain that is impaired. But what is actively messing up the brain? Something you ingested. It is not an inherent, pre-existing neurological condition.

You may also note I did not "lump all behaviors" in together. I listed three very specific behaviors that resulted from pain, in fact, and noted that other treatments were an integral part. And you still don't seem to understand that a diagnosis of autism is the presence of behaviors, and nothing else. To say that someone never had autism to begin with is akin to saying that because you are no longer sneezing, you never sneezed to begin with. But thanks once again for your deep insight.
