OP here. This is common from what I've read- the ASD behaviors get blamed on spouse. As for person who asked about diagnosis- I said in the original post we had talked to many therapists, and professional opinions can be given without a full diagnosis (a lengthy and pricey pricess that not everyone wants to go through despite their family's wishes). Gotta love it when the husband's sibling asks "well, do you think he has aspergers?" ASD wasn't well know a few decades ago, so....

To person who asked about how my husband would deal with taking care of DC after a divorce: he deeply loves his child and would not drop him. Now would he remember meal and bedtimes regularly, to have the right clothes/school supplies ready for the season/activity/size - a challenge.

I admit to being blown away by the responses. I know there are ASD/neorotypical support groups, but that would never fly.[/quote]

After spending so many wasted resources on my ASD spouse, I've come to the conclusion that you should focus on yourself. There are spouse support groups for those married to ASDs.

Don't focus so much on getting an autism diagnosis because most of the ASD research has been on kids and teens. His neurologist was like he's you have ASD but you're an adult with a job so it's high functioning anf there nothing to be done. If there is ADHD, OCD, anxiety, depression, etc then there are adult resources. For DH there was less of a stigma for him to admit he was depressed vs ASD.
