[quote=Anonymous]I can tell you that there are a lot of bullshit statistics thrown at parents of SN kids. I have heard various speakers and articles announce that 80% -- 50% -- 75% whatever huge percentage of marriages with Special Needs kids end in divorce. When you ask for the source or look for the article's source, there either is none or the sourcing is circular -- one article quotes another article without a source. Thus, this is all a big mythology. The only actual studies done were with a very few marriages in the 1960s with children with classical autism. I would be very wary of any therapist or educator who told you your marriage was in trouble simply because you have a child with special needs. None of that is to say that you shouldn't protect your marriage or take steps to value and protect and prize your relationship, especially if it is in trouble. Marriage is hard work. If you are having problems in your relationship, please think about therapy.[/quote]
