[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP how did you get your DH to agree to see someone for a diagnosis?[/quote]
Np. My husband seriously hit a wall after the second kid when I couldn’t physically and mentally do everything die the house, two kids, cars, him, nanny, house, yard, and my FT job plus his. He was totally out of it and after a series of “brain farts” in major and minor things be barely agreed to testing, thinking it was attention deficit disorder. He went in to the test thinking he’d prove nothing was wrong, everyone else was nuts, or at most get some Ritalin. He read up in neuropsychiatric the night before.

Well his results weren’t pretty: no ADHD but yes HFA ASD plus Bipolar plus anxiety/anger issues plus depression.

That one hour conversation going over the test, symptoms and their implications were spot on.  I was certainly blindsided and only read about about when trying to figure out what in earth was going on.

Anyhow, no treatment and spouse has doubled down on being in denial of both his symptoms and his DX. He’s gotten ruder and cruder than ever ANY time anyone outside of work asks him a question. He gets very defensive and belligerent. I’m on a roller coaster over eggshells at home, and need to get stronger before I jump off with the kids. [/quote]
