The new university will then make an assessment and award the credits and refund the pro rata fees or start your son on the first semester of year 2 modules in the second semester of year 1 as an alternative.
Your son would therefore effectively finish January/February in the final year, rather than summer.
I would also contact student services from both the universities to take into account credits obtained and support ASD. There should be a specialist team in the university to provide professional support. This can include a variety of support mechanisms, eg note takers, considerate marking, extra time for exams and course work, separate exam room etc.
