My grandson is Autistic we claim him as a dependent but he is now 17 years old. is there a deduction that I can get for him.

The deduction is in the fact that you can claim him as a dependent regardless of his age - if he is permanently and totally disabled.  But the actual child tax credit is lost when child reaches age of 17.

You can deduct his medical expenses that you paid if you itemize your deductions. But there are no specific deductions, credits for this, unfortunately.
