[quote=Anonymous]Hugs, OP. I feel the same but in a really different way. Same situation with autistic DS and DH, but DH is actually the one who would rather go out and do things than me! I'm much more of a homebody, and he and DS both prefer novel activities of any kind (they are both likely AuDHD, although we have not gotten a diagnosis for that part yet).

What I get frustrated about is that DH does want to do all of these things to "help me," which is super sweet, but then he also gets burnt out and overwhelmed and ends up acting like a jerk to the kids. This often results in the ASD kid also overreacting, and then they are both mad at each other and at everyone else. I honestly wish I had a situation where DH would back off and do less because he doesn't realize what he can and cannot do successfully without getting overstimulated. For years I have thought it would be easier if he just didn't want to be so involved - which is terrible but also true. Both all of us - him included - often end up miserable.[/quote]
