Hi I'm looking for some advice my husband has recently been diagnosed with high functioning autusm as it became apparent he had no empathy with the children (aged 5 and 2) when they hurt the self or become upset. It set off a spiral of other connections such as unable to see other point of view obsessive gaming unable to follow more than one instruction taking things literally not seeing the inappropriateness of certain comments and behaviours all things we have argued for years over. While im aware now that these things can't be helped and knowing helps to accept them and move on I'm so concerned about how to explain it to the kids that daddy does love them he just isn't always able to show it when they get hurt or are upset. I have anxiety and this has really sent me through a loop. I'm trying so hard to act normally and enjoy Christmas but inside I'm panicking. I love my husband so much and I can handle the fact that little affection and emotional support comes from him as I've had that for 12 years but how do I support my kids in that when they are getting to an age now where they need it from him.
