Just brainstorming, but could it be related to seasonal allergies? change in weather? or maybe a growth spurt? DS's behavior becomes more difficult just prior to a growth spurt, then seems to settle down afterwards.

We have this too. Even when we see DS making good progress, he continues to look worse when compared to typical kids his age. Typical kids just develop at a much faster rate than DS does, so he starts behind and falls further behind. So when we just look at where he is compared to his peers, it looks like he keeps getting worse and his autism has become more obvious.
