[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tell us more about this: I tried turning it all over to him, but he really screwed things up for DC in a way that we are still trying to correct.

Op here. DH is unable to talk about the challenges we have with our child. So when he goes to doctors appointments with DC, instead of describing the problems, he talks about how great DC is.

As a result, when trying to get diagnoses or insurance coverage or support from school in the IEP, I’m battling all this documentation that says DC is GREAT and there are no problems. So for example, when making the case for an ASD diagnosis, the docs are confused because DH has been saying DC is fine at all the appointments.

This has created massive delays in getting medication, diagnosis, therapies, etc.[/quote]

Get your spouse a neuropsychology test.

Don’t count on him

Many doctors are reluctant to hand out ASD so will do ADHD until more symptoms present in tween and teen years. Sorry. This happened with our child and we had a Dx’d asd/bipolar father. Adhd and asd are often comorbid too.[/quote]
