[quote=Anonymous]You need to call the psychologist's office before the planned debrief and explain your concerns. I think you should attend separate debriefs, but perhaps they will request a supplemental fee for that.

Is your spouse going to be physically or verbally abusive during such a meeting, do you think? One of my friends attempted to get her child evaluated several times and her husband sabotaged the process the first couple of times. He yelled at the psych and stormed out of one of the meetings. Since these were in-person intake meetings, they never got to the evaluation stage. They lost more than a decade before finally getting an anxiety, ADHD and dyslexia diagnosis combo...and that's just because the kid grew up and requested to be evaluated himself!!! You can imagine the consequences.

Just make sure to focus on your child's wellbeing, despite the suboptimal home environment. My ASD husband was verbally abusive to his ASD child, and I had to operate as my kid's defender for years. Now he's an adult, they get along better, but it's never entirely peaceful, mostly because neither can compensate for each other's socio-emotional gaps, so there's always some sort of  misunderstanding leading to frustration. My other child and I have the bandwidth to deal with each of them pretty well, but we can't always prevent friction between those two.[/quote]
