KJS, we're not doctors, but we can try to point you in the right direction. Your difficult child could have Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, which is a form of anxiety, from the trauma he endured at such a young age. The anger, frustration and feelings of overwhelm may be your difficult child's maladaptive way of coping with his anxiety. This disorder needs the right kind of treatment. He hasn't been evaluated since he was 2. A lot has changed since then. Again, I strongly encourage a new evaluation.
