[quote=Anonymous] You need to be strong, determined, even forceful, OP. You remind me of my best friend who has never persuaded her idiot husband that their clearly dyslexic child needs evaluation and treatment. They are in MCPS which recognizes many disorders but not dyslexia so she’s not getting any help or support at school. At this point it’s painful to watch this bright child struggling without any help. It’s downright parental neglect in my book. There are no automatic meds attached to an autism diagnosis like there are with ADHD, so relax and do your research. You both have to see this as “ruling out” a diagnosis, before moving forward with your lives. And if there is a diagnosis, then obviously your child will be well served with speech therapy, social skills groups, whatever he needs. Like PP said, your situation is common. Don’t let your husband get in the way of your child’s best chance of progress. [/quote]
