[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Didn’t read every comment but please don’t quit job.  I am unable to work due to illness.  DH undiagnosed asd , son diagnosed.  DH pulls the exact same garbage… lots of ‘nothing to see here!’ ‘Everything is fiiiiinnne’ when we see therapists doctors etc.  it’s not fine, it’s a hot mess.  Many providers seem completely used to the undiagnosed spouse strongly disagreeing with the wife.  The thing is when teachers and therapists are same behaviors that kinda helps you out.  Please don’t quit your job.  I am completely dependent on DH for money, which he likes to restrict from time to time as a power play.  It is really no way to live.  If your spouse might have a similar asd tendency you do NOT want to rely on that person for your livelihood [/quote]

This OP. If you can't rely on him for basic household or caretaking tasks why would you put all of your survival needs and ability to feed your kid in that basket. That is where I think your own unmanaged anxiety is impacting your thinking skills. And getting back in is almost NEVER where you left and you may need that money for a SN trust. Stop with the focus on the DH, consider him SN too and organize help and systems accordingly. If you feel overwhelmed, also be screened for ADD and executive functioning.

Hang in there. As a SN mom the marathon lasts our whole lives, you need to pace yourself and maximize financial resources in case your child is not fully self supporting one day. [/quote]
