DS was ill few weeks ago - and he was on anti-biotics. As he recovered from his illness (flu), we found him extremely engaged and high self-regulatory behaviour - for example, getting dressed quickly (with no dreaming), finishing his homework quickly with full mental engagement etc etc.
We went back and checked our notes (thanks to DW, who diligently keeps diary of each and every day of his food habits, his behaviour etc for the past several years), and we found similar impact/benefit earlier too.
Talked to the doctor here and he said he has heard similar stories from other parents.
Of course, during illness he is also on a very strict GFCFSF (sugar-free) diet, since he just eats Rice-dosa and rasam-rice... (but because of his dehydration, we did give him salt+sugar water).
Wonder if there is a connection between AB and being in the moment !

AB is only to cure bacterial existance and as bacteria have been wakning your son so he was pale and weak.
after coming out of the flu your son has got his energy back and so here he is today with enthusiasm!
AB have nothing with his behavioural change its only him which drew him to this excitement!
I am a microbiologist you can trust my comment.
hope your DS have more excitement ahead.
SKG, thank you for your comment... Appreciate your perspective.

Antibiotics like zithromax and augmentin work on strep which as you might know can cause PANDAS- just something to chk out. Also a lot of work is looking into areas such as fevers improving symptoms of autism
