spouse not understanding asperger daughter

[Guest guest]

Yes, my husband thought I was making things up but he doesn’t

spend much close time with our daughter to notice. he has aspergers

along with other undiagnosed behaviors such as anger, moodiness, hyperness.

After work, he isolates himself and plays computer games or watches

sports. He will join us if we are doing an activity that interests him.

I too wish I had a partner that I could share viewpoints and strategies or just

understanding. Since I don’t, I come to this group for those things

and I spend the first 10 minutes of my daughters therapy session talking to her

therapist about problems and strategies. Another support resource is the local

monthly autism group meetings, but I cant always attend those meetings.

Best wishes, melody
