OP - I would document what this counselor failed to do in a note to her with CC to the principal and the impact on your child.  Then I would request a change of high school counselor.  Also for a heads up I would definitely apply to one "Early Action" or rolling admissions school as soon as possible in the fall of senior year so you get the counselor to work on it while still fresh and avoid the deluge around January.

You may also want to do your research ahead of time in all colleges that DS may be applying to in order to see what kind of documentation will be required to obtain disability supports.  You can just make phone calls as no record would be kept and ask especially about how current must testing results be?  I have prepared just this information standing out for students with disabilities for a Transition Fair in our area next weekend, although the focus is on those with more severe challenges.

Finally, I guess for anything important in the college application process you might need a separate wall calendar to keep everything moving forward and to be able to followup on teachers with recommendations, counselors on things like you have mentioned as well as pacing your son to get applications done next year.
