[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH is Asian and no, he doesn’t agree with getting therapy for himself or as a couple[/quote]

OP, speaking as someone who also married an undiagnosed ASD Asian man with a STEM PhD who also did not "agree with getting therapy for himself or as a couple" --

Divorce.

You have no other choice. If he doesn't agree to go to therapy (mine didn't), he won't acknowledge his shortcomings. His ASD and his culture (my Ex-DH was from Korea) make it basically impossible that he will have any functional relationship with your kid, or with you; he's already blaming you for your kid's disabilities! You'll see, over time, how absurd that is, and how much of a strain it is on your relationship with both him and your kid.

PP here, my kid was only "mildly" learning disabled (still tested as gifted, but had inattentive ADHD that was only diagnosed in late high school and poor visual-spatial scores on cognitive testing -- no ASD or other learning disorders). But DH still struck so much emotional damage into her that I wished I had divorced earlier. [/quote]
