My husband has recently (in the last 18 months) been diagnosed with ADHD and Autism. Starting medication has been absolutely life altering for us as a couple. Suddenly he is capable of contributing so much more to the running of our lives (we have 2 kids) however I am finding I am having trouble letting go of all the things after having done everything for so long (married 18 years). How do I tell the difference between things he is actually incapable of doing because of his diagnosis, and things that he has just been told he can't do because of weaponised incompetence (I.e because he is a cisgender white male in his 40s).
I have been yearning to know what the deal with em and her sister is. I was under the impression for such a long time that Em was an only child and when I read she had a sister in her book I was honestly shocked! In all of her stories about childhood, adolescence, family gatherings, and life she never mentions her. So what's the go there?
My beautiful 10 year daughter has just got her ADHD diagnosis and I need help helping my extremely nueotypical husband to understand her and realise that we can’t change her. I’m kind of at a loss at what to do but it honestly feels like if he can’t get his head around it I need to remove him from the situation any suggestions would be so super helpful
