[quote=Anonymous]OP ... I really don't believe in "Internet diagnoses", but he sounds so much like my DS.  We finally found some answers with his ASD and anxiety diagnoses.  It helped me to see how his reactions are stemming from his rigid black & white thinking and his anxiety driven need to control his surroundings.  I don't know if you've seen multiple psychologists but I would be really wary of jumping to bi-polar based on one doctor's input.

I also struggle with anxiety and retraining myself that everything doesn't have to be done "the right way" (aka my way).  I've been doing very well but recently had an eye opening experience when I ran out of my usual allergy meds and switched to Zyrtec for several days.  Just that simple change in OTC medication sent my anxiety was out of control and I completely lost my temper a couple of times until I realized what was going on.  People like to maintain the illusion that we are rational actors but one little change in brain chemistry can change everything.

Anyhow, good luck.  Ignore the stares but please realize that there really are many of us that are with you.
