Truthseeker64-- How old is your son? What is it that he does that you find so draining?
A label of STS on a child is a hefty label that may or may not be true. Also, sometimes a child that has attachment disorder will appear to be STS but that is not the case. Attachment disorder is usually a learned behavior/emotional response to a child failing to recieve the necessary LOVE, Attention, Food, Water and Comfort and Stability that a baby-toddler-young child requires for development.
Also, children who are Indigos and are being poisioned by chemicals in food, water and environment will exhibit highly maladaptive behaviors such as screaming, biting, irrational outbursts of aggression, self-injury and poor impulse control and Autistic spectum and/or ADHD like behavior.
We truly are what we eat. Further, a spirited child with a parent who is shy or socially isolating is something to be examined. Is the difficulty that you wish to sit and meditate and ponder the nature of the universe in complete silence and your child decides that that is a good time to seek your attention? Then this is clearly something that needs to be examined before "blaming" the child for a parenting style that is not working for the child. This is a skill set that parental learning would be of benefit.
