not sure where to go next

....im having a dilemma.  my son is 5 and has been undergoing tests and assessments for the last 2 years.  he went for his diagnosis last month and we came away none the wiser.  the doctor that was doing the assessment said she couldnt diagnose him as he wouldnt interact with the play therapist..i thought this was why we were there as he has really poor social skills. the doctor then sent the play therapist in to my sons school to do the assessment this proved the same as at the clinic...the play therapist said there was a lot of signs that said my son could be autistic but a lot that conflicted this too.  ive always been told that if my son is autistic he is very high functioning so i thought her observation made perfect sense in this respect. but the doctor didnt she said they are going to wait until my son transitions into year one now and see if his behaviour changes.  this has dissappointed me as my son seems to be getting worse not better without the help he needs.  he is now having very violent tantrums towards me and getting stressed over the slightest thing.....has anyone got any advice on what to do. i spoke to a paediatrician who sugested i go on a parenting course so they have now made me feel like its my fault my son is the way he is.......
