Divorce on the Autism Spectrum.
The odds of a couple living in marital bliss aren't as high when you're living with autism. Reports have stated that the divorce rate is a staggering 80% . Some would say that the diagnosis is too overwhelming while others say that the marriage foundation wasn't solid to begin with, and autism was the catalyst to "part ways". My situation doesn't fall into either category as I was a single mother for years before I met my husband, and I was not married to his biological father. Although, we have not been married long, we have, nonetheless, come to an impasse.
