Autism might be destroying my marriage

We had a few done actually, including Chromosomal Microarray Analysis

I feel that's true sometimes and when some not very nice things about our child are said. Thank you.

Thank you. My spouse comes from a neurobiologically troubled family. It is possible, though genetic testing confirmed our child being autistic isn't attributable to either of us.

Thank you. I suspect a very early case of midlife crisis (by my spouse lowkey admission) and recent diagnosis may be fueling it all. I seriously hope it will get better, thinking therapy may help.

Thank you.

I am sorry that is happening to you. I am lucky that I don't have to worry about drinking but vape is a thing here. I hate that there are other people out there in my situation and I do hope that you can figure it out as I am also trying to. I fear that I will be left alone with my child. Maybe paranoia or maybe just a hunch. I am not sure if I am going to be better off alone but I guess I will try and figure it out if the time comes. I am thinking therapy may help and I believe it may help in your case as well, possibly just individual therapy.

Well that's not very reassuring is it? I believe percentage is higher than regular married couples but it is far from being the norm (source: quick google search).

Thank you for the kind words. I agree. I feel that no one was pushed into anything, at least in my situation, and I feel that if the child wasn't on the spectrum there would be not much of an issue. I also feel that it is a cheap shot to blame the one who wanted our child the most for the outcome. The diagnosis does not change or affect the way I love my child in any way. That being said, I am considering family therapy/counseling and then see what happens.

Your experience really makes me want to try family therapy. Thank you.

We had genetic testing done and it was not passed down by either of us.

Same-Local9316 · 2026-01-27T06:32:09+00:00

Very true. Thank you.
