Father not interested in childs diagnosis or how to help

melon

Hi

My son recently got the Aspergers diagnosis. I am reading up and finding out as much as I can about how he is affected, what his needs are and how I can help him. My husband is not!

Despite me asking my husband to do so he has not looked up a single thing about this condition. It seems like he doesn't care about our son or want to help him. He will not discuss the diagnosis with me or anyone else. 

I feel like a single parent right now. 

Any advise or thoughts?

    IF the father has ASD then the last way to approach it is in a confrontational manner. It is highly counterproductive.

    AS is highly inheritable - I'm an aspie dad and we think that we can trace back through 3 generations!

    I see diagnosis as a way of understanding how I'm different from the NT world - being an aspie has been very hard work pre-diagnosis. I'm hoping that the dx can help make the post-diagnosis bit better.
