Newbie!

Hello to you all, it is lovely to be part of this group. My husband is higher functioning autism. Diagnosed in last 6 years. I am struggling a bit with him at the moment. I have severe depression and anxiety and I am disabled as well. On top of that I have found a lump in my breast and and the odds are against me for it being benign. My husband gave up work 5 years ago to care for me - his choice to do so. Since then we have got married and moved home and now the above issues have hit us.  He is dealing with it by laughing at everything and not understanding my need for support. I understand why he is like this as 2 of my children are on the autistic spectrum. But I am having to rely on friends for support. Any advice as to how I can handle this, relieve his anxiety and make me feel a bit supported, would be greatfully received. 

Thankyou for reading.
