Hi I've changed my name as don't want to be identified. I have had strong suspicions that DD1 is on the spectrum for a while. It is only mild as she is quite high functioning to some extent. I have only recently started pursuing this with health visitors and doctors etc. However i mentioned it to MIL and she agree, stating that DH was on the spectrum. This was news to me. I had known he was a quirky character (his dad is worse) but had never put 2+2 together until now. He was terribly naughty as a child and ended up in a residential school. The thing is I am starting to resent him for it. I blame him for DD1 behaviour and I have considered divorcing him. I wanted another child but am reconsidering;as u dont want to risk another child with more sever ASD. I have not said this to him, and a big part of me feels guilty for feeling this way. What can I do? Has anyone else had this? I don't know who to talk to about it.
