What JUMPED out at me was the author listing the stuff her son does that provokes her and then she says *I know kids test limits and that's notlrmal.*

Well when yoir son is autistic and oppositional and every. Single. Thing. You ever asked/told him to do he wouldn't,  it's not testing limits.

No to brush your hair.

No to let me brush your hair

No to wash your hands. 
No to let me wash your hands.

No to get dressed.

No to eat veg or fruits.

No to let's go for a walk

No to don't take your sister's toys

No to wear a coat.

No to let's put these socks away together

And then you find yourself dragging a disheveled child in his pajamas with no coat on and untrusted hair to the store and you get the glares or your partner comes home and let's you know what a failure you are because he won't listen and the house has had everything dumped out of its bin and no laundry has been put away.
And now the neighbors hate you because they've heard you and your partner argue and yell about it and now you yell at your son because if he would just listen a few times, his sister wouldn't be crying and throwing toys at him and you might have a few of the things picked up before partner comes home. You see their looks and how they shun you and spread the news.

So you take him to the doctor who tells you he can be autistic because he makes eye contact so he's probably oppositional.

That's a special kind of rage.

But now my rage is largely directed at the neighbors who never bothered to offer a little help, just sat and gossiped and judged. And the doctors who told you ds was doing it to you with a clear mind, not because he couldn't help it.
