SynapticStorm,
Your DS is lucky to have such a thoughtful, supportive dad who understands how he feels.
With our DS we try to help him overcome his perfectionist tendencies (and we've seen improvement this year!), trying to work through his rigid-thinking tendencies, and also try to help him rewrite his negative-thought processes. We've seen much improvement in all of these areas and it's my hope it will serve him his whole life, but especially get him through the difficult times.
Thanks for starting this discussion, because the whole child is so important.
