[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tell us more about this: I tried turning it all over to him, but he really screwed things up for DC in a way that we are still trying to correct.

Op here. DH is unable to talk about the challenges we have with our child. So when he goes to doctors appointments with DC, instead of describing the problems, he talks about how great DC is.

As a result, when trying to get diagnoses or insurance coverage or support from school in the IEP, I’m battling all this documentation that says DC is GREAT and there are no problems. So for example, when making the case for an ASD diagnosis, the docs are confused because DH has been saying DC is fine at all the appointments.

This has created massive delays in getting medication, diagnosis, therapies, etc.[/quote]

Hi OP. I have seen your posts before. I’m sorry you are going through this, it sounds gut wrenching. You can write down feedback for your husband to share at these appointments. A neuropsych evaluation will go off teacher recommendations, parental forms filled out at home, and most importantly, face to face evaluation with a child. And really, this is the most important thing - a professional”s diagnosis- not the differing views that you and your husband clearly have. I wouldn’t quit my job. I’d be surprised if your therapist thinks this is a good idea. You will do what you need to do, but as an ADHD mother of an autistic and ADHD kid, I’m just not buying your husband as this helpless victim who can’t do anything. He is choosing not to. I guess he will learn the hard way when there is money stress and all the stress is on him to be the breadwinner. [/quote]
