    Looking for advice on autistic dad leaving hospital before my son could see a doctor

    This is excellent advice, thank you. Most appreciated. I wish I had found Don't JADE earlier! I have just e-mailed that to my sons as it is good life advice regardless of my reason for posting.

    Looking for advice on autistic dad leaving hospital before my son could see a doctor

    Thank you. I think I get stuck wondering whether stuff that is happening is really real. It takes time for things to sink in with me when people do negative things. Being practical is a good way forward and I like the term 'no excuse for bad behaviour', it puts a healthier boundary up rather...

    Looking for advice on autistic dad leaving hospital before my son could see a doctor

    Thank you. I was acting on the science of kids needing both parents - even after he hit the eldest four years ago -and he spoke about needing more communication and reinforcing that we co-parent effectively and then he pulled this trick. I'm afraid I cannot bear to see him after this, it's...

    Looking for advice on autistic dad leaving hospital before my son could see a doctor

    Thank you. It's good to hear that you have been learning about autism. My ex wouldn't read or respond to anything I tried to put his way about it. I really tried. I learned a lot and came across covert narcissism and because of how my ex used to be and what he turned into, the latter seemed to...

    Looking for advice on autistic dad leaving hospital before my son could see a doctor

    Thank you. My eldest is 16 so his decision about his dad is his own. He asked his dad some questions about money and about taking his brother out of the hospital and he has decided that 'there's nothing there, it's like a vacuum'. He says 'we are getting sucked into a black hole' over what dad...

    Looking for advice on autistic dad leaving hospital before my son could see a doctor

    Thank you for your reply. I came on here to get some clarity. I feel I need to explain to my sons that their father's behaviour is perhaps not just autism because it looks like my ex trades and manipulates people with his diagnosis. I feel that is totally unfair to autistic people. Also son's...

    Looking for advice on autistic dad leaving hospital before my son could see a doctor

    Thank you for your reply. I do not live with my ex, he drove because I cannot drive at night. I have two children and stayed with the eldest at home. The rash would not go away with a glass test and the advice is to get to a hospital immediately. When children are sick it can develop really...

    Wow. Thank you.

    Looking for advice on autistic dad leaving hospital before my son could see a doctor

    Thank you. Yes, I have noticed that ASD people are bad at lying and have brought much comfort from that because I cannot stand dishonesty. That is why I get so confused at my ex being diagnosed as autistic but then being so passive aggressive and weird. IMO I do not see not ringing the mum as...

    Thank you for your reply. How old was your son when this happened?

    Looking for advice on autistic dad leaving hospital before my son could see a doctor

    Thank you all for your replies. To be clear, my ex left the hospital without calling me and left it too late for me to get a cab to the hospital so we could swap places. That would have been the most common sense thing to do but instead he knew I would not like his decision to leave and said...

    I just edited my thread title thank you.

    Looking for advice on autistic dad leaving hospital before my son could see a doctor

    Oh yes, sorry, he decided to leave WITH my son after triage so he didn't wait for my son to see a doctor. I am not sure how I might edit that. Thank you for pointing that out.

    Looking for advice on autistic dad leaving hospital before my son could see a doctor

    He did not call. He went through triage and then he went with my son to the next part of the hospital. He kept worrying about his body clock and used the excuse of being a lorry driver and the training saying that drivers need their sleep even though he had the next day off work. He said he...
