[quote=Anonymous]You need to get the psychologist who diagnosed your child to talk one-on-one with your husband and persuade him that these issues will not go away, and have to be accommodated while the child is young.

Disclose as needed, of course. Maybe right now you can start aftercare without disclosing anything, and see how it goes. This requires constant vigilance in order to act promptly when a situation arises, and your husband needs to understand that he can't let his wife lift that burden all by herself. It's a common occurrence that fathers feel shame and don't want to disclose anything, then let mothers deal with the fallout because they aren't paying attention during the year.

My ADHD/ASD child had an IEP, then a 504, and now has accommodations in college. He has continued to improve and progress all his life, BECAUSE of the "special treatment". Effectively, services and accommodations increase the chances that such children will become functional and financially independent adults.

Your husband needs to understand that considerations for his child's diagnoses won't hold his kid back. It's his backward and regressive beliefs that will hold his kid back.
