[quote=Anonymous]My ADHD/ASD husband was like this all of our son's elementary years, OP. He dragged his feet on paying for a neuropsych for years, until I had a fit and told him I'd pay for it regardless. Then he adamantly refused to have him medicated, until our son failed 4th grade and developed depression because he thought he was stupid.

Now our ADHD/ASD son is a successful young adult. At some point during his adolescence, my husband acknowledged that I did the right thing. It doesn't erase the years of tension and arguments I had with him surrounding our son's education, and all the work my son and I put in when he was little, while he brushed all my concerns away and poo-poohed our stress and efforts.

I try not to think about our past, otherwise I get resentful. But because he had a change of heart, my husband is now a lot more involved with guiding his son through young adult life (teaching him about repairing his car, how to ask for a credit card limit increase, etc).

So. Small mercies, I guess.

Hang in there, OP. Support your child with everything you've got. It will pay off.
