Happy to help!
Some good parenting advice comes from airplanes: "put the oxygen mask on yourself before you help a companion."
That goes double for parenting an HG+ child!
There's no shame in saying "I need a break." You have to take care of yourself if you want to have enough left to help your child.
If it's more about your needing the time away and less about the social aspect for your child, then have you considered getting a babysitter/mother's helper? A good one is worth her weight in gold and can give you a much-needed break, even as she helps your DS pursue his interests. It can be a better arrangement for both you and your DS--especially in addition to a good-but-too-short preschool--than a long-but-not-right preschool would be. Find an older high school girl or a college student who can drive and she can even take your DS to museums or the park.
Just a thought...
