[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husbands diagnosed mental illness.[/quote]

+1  he can’t hide it w friends or extended family when when all vacation.  He tries to by “doing more office work” but that looks ridiculous and all his disappearing does too. It’s his parents family secret- most people on the paternal side have it and they hide it (via never doing new things or spending elongated time with others) and never talk about it. Ironically MIl keeps asking how the kids are doing w school, friends or talking as she tries to determine if it passes to girls... (it did to one).[/quote]
What is the illness, if I may ask? 
My MIL is exactly the same. Sometimes I wonder if this is how boomers roll  trying to swipe s**t under the rug and pretending everything is juuust fiiine. Ugh.[/quote]

It’s autism. Mil only had one of the kids, the one failing school, diagnosed and convinced the other three it was merely dyslexia that he saw help 3x a week for his inattentivenness, hyperactivity, poor listening, odd social comments / behavior, and lack of follow through. Oh, plus needed reading and math help. 
To this day that son doesn’t know he has it, lives at home, gets fired all the time, they try to marry him off all the time but going on his dates with him, more like outings... 
In reality they all have asd and need serious help, at least to avoid accidents and constant mishaps. [/quote]
