[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hang in there. I was in a similar situation and it was very hard but eventually got better. Don’t be afraid to ask for help, it is very important not to face it alone. See what resources are available in your community and social circle. Hugs[/quote]

Same here. I survived a very bleak period in my life and marriage and am now on the other side. It was really difficult: autistic husband and autistic son. The only way it got better was my son clawing his way into college. Now there's no conflict in the family home. DS and DH just can't live together for long periods of time.

What happens if you get sick or badly injured? Who takes care of you or the remaining household obligations, post kid launch? [/quote]

He does. As I said, we are post-crisis.

Do you have any examples of him successfully taking care of someone without another adult or you around?

I’d be worried he would hit the wall again like he did for 18 years of child rearing (what you call the crisis), and check out again. [/quote]

He can take care of medical crises, and he did that with me and with one of his children already, so I know he can do it again. He's a doctor, so he has special training for that! But anything that has to do with emotional support during a medical crisis, or anything to do with mental health disorders, he cannot do, since he lacks the socio-communication tools to address those. This is why he butts heads with his autistic kid - neither have the tools. If I'm gone, my autistic kid will be given money to survive, but no guidance of any sort.

So what you're saying is he is autistic too.  That explains a lot about why he's not doing what you want him to do. [/quote]
