I know the question is old but I'm hoping there's still someone out there with a husband and child on the spectrum. I feel like I'm in a corner and I'm going to just cry.

oh sweetie @A MyAutismTeam Member i so relate! Unfortunately we ended in divorce this year & i hightailed it back east. Here i go again, but with God on my side.

Funny our husbands and sons have the same diagnosis. My hubby is still waiting for a formal diagnosis but we've talked with his family about his past history, taken all the assessments, talked to a few doctors but we're still waiting for someone to make it official. (I'll preface this with I'm pretty sure when the honeymoon phase wore off and I stopped seeing my hubby through that hearts and flowers gaze I thought I had married a complete jackass) He gets aggressive when his routine is interrupted, he doesn't feel pain and often punches walls to the point of bleeding when he's mad, he doesn't hold me or show me affection, I have to ask for even a hug. There's no intimacy, when I'm upset he just looks at me funny, he doesn't understand me being upset, doesn't understand me being emotional at all. He acts so much like my son with food aversions, loud noises, crowds and he doesn't know how to be social. I have to constantly censor his conversations when we're out with friends. I have to tell him if he's talking too much, or on a subject that's making people uncomfortable because he can't tell.

I.wish!
