Autism and separated parents

So, it’s looking like my dd (nearly 3) will be diagnosed with autism. Her main issues are severe anxiety/separation anxiety and sensory issues. Her df is not clued up on her condition at all and barely knows her. Can I insist on supported/supervised contact for the foreseeable? She would suffer enormously being in his care Sad

Didn't want to read and run but I'm not sure.
Are you and dad amicable enough to agree to this for a period?
Would she cope going for tea a few nights a week and sitting overnight visits at a later date if you both cooperate with each other well?

There is zero cooperation unfortunately. Her ‘d’f isn’t too bothered about parenting, only getting one up on me.

My dd can’t manage any time away from me atm without complete meltdowns. Even my parents can’t care for her and they are both heavily involved in her day to day life.

What's the contact situation at the moment?

im not the most knowlegable about this but no I dont think you can insist on that unless he is an actual danger to the child which doesnt sound like the case.
