[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op - he has adhd as does kid. But possible they both have some asd traits. With ds he does not seem autistic generally speaking. But in this case a little [/quote]

Good get him to a psychiatrist and on a stimulant [/quote]

He doesn’t need to be drugged because she hates her job.  [/quote]

Correct, he needs ADHD drugs to treat and manage his chronic ADHD symptoms so he can contribute a base level of effort to the family. [/quote]

He is not responding the way she wants him to - that is fundamentally a “her” problem (even though it sounds tough emotionally for her to deal with).

Suggesting that he needs drugs so that he will act in a way that meets her expectations (he is not doing anything wrong after all, he is simply not doing what she wants him to do) is ludicrous.

FTR I believe that ADHD is a real diagnosis, but I strongly disagree that it should be medicated in the vast majority of cases.  [/quote]

Her DH should try it and executive function coaching, likely to be very helpful to him in his family under great stress, to his SN kid and in his work life. God forbid something happen to OP he needs to be able to function at a higher level re: care and earning. If he does so now, will take stress off OP, a cancer survivor. Their well being matters more than your beliefs, the family is struggling under multiple significant stressor. [/quote]
