    From your earlier posts, your husband may be as aspie as your son. Unless, or until, he accepts that fact then sparks are likely to fly. Undiagnosed Aspies are, unfortunatley, highly likely to end up divorced and it sounds as though your situation is reaching breaking point if you are going for counselling.

    Hubby may be very resistant to being told that there is something wrong with him - it is very irritating to have someone tell you that your behaviour is officially odd and that the rest of the world is right/normal.

    I also get the sense that you are (naturally) talking about, and thinking about, your son's ASD rather a lot. If your husband has a different opinion then this may just add to the stress that he already feels about the situation. If he is aspie then he won't be able to communicate his feelings very well and he may just bottle it all up until he breaks.
