[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My spouse is diagnosed with ASD, depression and anxiety.  OP - h3et DH (assuming)  on medication stat if there are comorbidities. AFAIK ASD isn't medicated, but if there's other dx like above or OCD, ADHD, etc. then take those pills. He'll need a psychiatrist and therapist.  For it to have gone on so long undetected might indicate some childhood or family trauma and dysfunction.

PP who mentioned Cassandra syndrome is right.  You also need to take care of yourself and your kids. Seek out individual therapy if you think you need it. We used to do couples therapy, but even the therapist agreed it was a waste of time and dropped us.

My kids are too young for therapy, but that's something we might revisit as they get older. We got them screened for ASD because tbecause there's a strong genetic component. So far it doesn't seem they have it. I am basically taking care of the kids 100%, even though we live with their father. He does spend time with them, but it is supervised and scheduled.

So has him being on meds made life significantly better for you?[/quote]

Let's not go overboard.  Life has become bearable. We were on the way to divide and searching for every possible way to save the marriage. [/quote]
