Yes, alot of men have a hard time coming to terms that things aren't perfect. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, its just easier for us who see all sorts of different children and see the differences than it is for them who aren't out there all the time. My DH had a hard time, the psychologist asked him why and he said "I just want her to be perfect still" and she said "does this make her less than perfect?". His answer was "No, I just its just a different sort of perfection...." Its hard for them to work it out sometimes.
My Dh had a hard time initially, but he is coming round as he sees more and more of what i tell him about ASD. With psych assessments etc.. he is now understanding that it isn't just me going over the top with his health, but D does have superpowers
He still forgets sometimes and does actions which can send D into overdrive, but he slowly getting there.
