My husband refuses to believe he has adhd/autism!!! Life is he'll sometimes

NAS82939

My husband refuses to believe he has adhd/autism or both and living with him is taking a toll on my mental health and i really need help in how to deal with an adult who is in denial and does not listen to my advice?

He doesn't talk to me if he doesn't get his way. He doesn't communicate with me about anything unless he wants to talk. Im loosing my patience with him and need to be shown how to deal with this behaviour. Some of his family members have it and have been diagnosed so they also help with how I should deal with his behaviour but is this my life now???? This is tiring and mentally hard to deal with.

I need help!!!

  • He has recently been in hospital and all he has done coming back from the hospital is spend all his time on his computer. Doesn't sleep properly so advising him he needs more rest, especially in recovery stage, im just being ignored

    if he’s been on hospital then he may be looking for low pressure environment over social interaction etc. Computer games are good for people with ADHD and Autism as it takes you out of your social awkward zones stops your mind overthinking and looping about your problems which causes burnout but allows you to still use your mind energy in a more positive way. After he’s had some time on his computer you might find he will start coming back to life and engaging slowly but try to keep your mind open about that and ask him what he wants to do. Games can serve as a safe escape from an overwhelming world, helping individuals to relax, manage anxiety, and process frustrations in a controlled setting
