Got diagnosis but my partner won't believe it

Gr8mum

Hi, my son has been diagnosed with Asperger's but my partner does not believe it.   I feel one issue may be that he has it himself - it's a very tricky subject to address.

Now we have to decide whether to let the paed. inform GP and school but we're just going round in circles as I do want to & he doesn't.

Has anyone else experienced this?

  • Bounces dad knew he had ASD before Dx (we both had a gut feeling) anyhow since dx he has struggled to deal with issues that arrise and half the time I tell him what Bounce has been up to or how bad my nyte was or the fact that I havent slept in 48hours straight he really does struggle to accept it!!

    Unfortunately he is the same with other 4 who have special needs and calls other 2 NT nerds!!!! Pathetic I know but I know he has issues himself and he has only addmitted it once in 25 years

    Some people take time to accept dx, try and get him involved with issues and if not listening to you leave documents about has if on purpose for him to view on his own accord.

    Has mentioned above everyone needs to be informed so your son gets the best possible help and support, if this dont happen more problems could arise educationally etc. I would definetly get a statutory assessment done, you can request one yourself and SEN Parent Partnership can help you with this and other issues.

    My little Bounce was just dx June 2012 3 months short of his 5th birthday and even to this day I do struggle to understand it all but it does take time.
