[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]OP, please consider getting a therapist for yourself.  Your posts scream of not just anxiety but anger.  You are suffering and you can't be much help to your DS if you are this wound up.  You very strong emotions might get in the way of understanding what you need to do for him.[/b]
Of course things are difficult right now.  Your DS is having some kind of challenge and you don't know what it is so you don't know how to help him.  This is pretty much the definition of a stressful situation -- problem with no obvious solution.  But you need to keep your eye on the ball.  Having the results of a thorough evaluation with suggestions for treatments and going forward is THE way out.  When you have a plan, you will feel better.  And you will be able to help your DS.  Again, you may be viewing this backwards.  The problem is what is happening now.  The solution is in the experts that you are so afraid of.

All of us here in the SN section know the stress of a child who isn't being helped and we also know how much things can improve with the right interventions.  Get your mind around that and things will better.  The current situation is untenable for you.[/quote]

Agree, OP, you sound really angry.  I've been there.  Not a good feeling.  Talk to someone.  Seriously.  [/quote]

I am, I am, okay?  Sorry - being referred to five specialists in two weeks is a fucking awful feeling.  It just is.[/quote]
