PDA child Dad doesn't get it

3 replies

I have an autistic/ADHD daughter with a PDA profile. She can be very challenging but responds well to very calm parenting for the most part. The issue is that my husband/her father is very angry and easily irritated (probable autism/adhd) and just doesn't get it. I have explained endless times and sent links, got him to join me on online classes, bought books etc. Professionals involved in her care have explained it to him. He just reverts back to shouting and aggression because he can't change himself. I am at the end of my tether because it affects the whole household. We have two other children and it makes for a very unhappy life for everyone. Any advice would be welcome x

That sounds awful, sorry you have to put up with that. Does he have the insight to realise he might have an underlying diagnosis as well?

Live separately?

Does he have any insight into this? What does he say when you challenge him?
