How will I deal with this diagnosis?

24m · AutismMom & Travel Podcast · 10 Jun 10:21

Many parents feel overwhelmed with sadness when their child is diagnosed with autism. Often, that grief is connected with a sense of loss. While their child, of course, is still a part of their lives, some parents feel that they have lost the child they expected or the child they thought they had. Others are saddened by the realization that their child with autism will almost certainly live their entire lives with a disability. Still, others are grieved by the thought they will not be able to give their spouse or parents the gift of a "perfect" child or grandchild.

Does Having a Special-Needs Child Strain Marriages?

Parenting a child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can be challenging, frustrating, and stressful for all involved. Autism in children often leads to disagreements about the best treatments, the validity of a diagnosis, and how much time and money to devote to the child.

For some couples, the process of addressing and resolving these issues leads to a stronger bond. For others, however, the stress can take a real toll on the relationship. In fact, research shows that parenting a child with autism is associated with increased marital conflicts.
