My Advice for the Autism Husband 1. Admit to her that youre afraid. You dont have to pretend to be Superman. She aint buying the act anyway. 2. But be strong for her. 3. Its OK to get angry and frustrated. But dont take it out on her. 4. You dont need to have all the answers. Sometimes she just wants you to listen. 5. Its OK to disagree. But dont invalidate her opinions. 6. Sneak up behind her and kiss her on the cheek. Youre welcome. 7. Light a candle once in a while. Again, youre welcome. 8. Dont keep score. You will always lose. 9. If you ever feel the urge to tell her, Thats your job, change the subject... quickly. 10. Its OK to disagree about your kids school and therapies, but NEVER at an IEP meeting. You are a united front... always! 11. Dance with her. (I dont get it either, but trust me). (Youre welcome again) 12. The only correct answer to the question, Does this make me look fat? is an unequivocal, No. And it must leave your lips within 1.82 seconds. 13. There will be days when all you want to do is sit and watch a ball game. Tough. 14. When she says, leave the dirty pots in the sink, Ill wash them when I get home, its a test. 15. When she tells you she understands if you dont want to join her and the kids when they visit her parents this weekend... shes lying. 16. Repeat after me, Your hair looks pretty today. 17. You dont have to fix it all. You cant. She knows it. 18. The only correct answer to the question Do you think that girl is pretty? is Yeah, I guess so (in a tone indicating you had never noticed before she pointed it out). 19. Repeat after me again, Lets take a bath. 20. Dont curse. It doesnt impress her. 21. Listen closely. Those sniffles you hear in bed after the lights go off arent allergies. Put your arm around her.
