LAF, I wouldn't worry about your psych's comments. We all have different personalities, and I like to think that there's a larger reason than we realize that we have the personalities we have. I like to research too, get all the details I can when there is something I need to know. The thing I do that has always seemed extreme compared to others I know is that I dig my heels in and fight (I don't mean hitting lol, but stand my ground and don't give in - I'm stubborn!). Yet that trait that was daunting or annoying or whatever up until a certain point in my life turned out to be *exactly* what I needed to support my very-2e oldest child in dealing with school etc.
My advice is don't be sad, embrace who you are with pride! You are most likely the one person in your child's life who will dig the deepest and really try to understand how all the pieces fit together and you're the person who is going to be his backbone as you discover what the bumps and smooth places will be in his journey. That's important! Don't ever not be who you were meant to be just because one psych told you you exhausted him. Yes, you may have exhausted that one person, but as HK says, find a TS message board or local group or go dig in the library or online or something - don't stop digging and don't ever stop just *being* *you*. That's who your ds needs
Sending you a hug!
