When we first started this journey and I began to learn and advocate my husband was the same. I remember at dinner one night(the girls were not present) my husband was like, "It's not like the are geniuses or anything." I was like: "Uh...technically...based on their IQ scores they are.....duh."
That's when he started looking into it for himself. He had to come to the understanding as to the importance of the issues by himself.

I like the cheetah and the left-handedness articles, too. Those two would be tied for first choice for me. And LOL, about the "Uh...technically...based on their IQ scores they are.....duh," there, 'Neato!

Dottie -OMG! That is just too funny. I can't believe he said that. I wouldn't let him for get it either.
So what is considered a Genius IQ? And is that number based on old tests or current ones?

Wikipedia doesn't offer a citation for this coarse quotation, so I don't know how accurate it is, but I love this passage: Mozart, who apparently completed his musical compositions in his head and simply wrote them down when they were completed, is supposed to have often said while drinking and conversing with friends, "I write music as a sow p!sses." How witty...How droll...not! Typical Mozart, no?

Oh, and Dottie, you are NOT fat OR dumb! I do hope you're happy though! (I'm 3 for 3 now, aren't I? Figuring out your location lately has been like taking candy from a fat, dumb and happy baby!  )

Prewatch the movie 'Titus' and if it seems like it would help, that may be a way. I've only about halfway through, but it's very interesting. Of course the Mom get portrayed negativly - to me she just seems human and isolated.
Still, so far it's been an amazing experience for DH and I to watch a child who is so much like our own, and yet, thankfully, ours isn't so extreame - and is like a ray of sunshine by comparison. I think that they are similar in the sense of 'the entire way that children are treated injures my pride and I will not tolerate it!'
Still, I've always wished that my husband could see and appreciate the 'path not taken' due to my personal efforts, instead of seeing the 'messy and odd parts.' I hope that as the movie unfolds and digests in my DH's mind, that I may get my wish.
((Humor Alert))
I did crack up when the subtitle under the mom read: "His IQ is so high, it's can't be measured!" I thought, well that's not saying much, neither can mine and we are definitly talking a different LOG here.
I think that visits with other families who are facing similar issues are a better avenue for most DHs than books. There is a DVD version of 'MisDiagnosis and Dual Diagnosis' by James Webb at SENG. I haven't seen it, but if anyone has, I'd love a review.

I keep thinking that if your husband is not working against you on getting your son's educational needs met, then does it really matter if he 'gets' your son the way you do?
The great part of two parent families is having two different approaches and connections to the kids. He may be able to meet your childs needs in ways you don't 'get'. You may meet your childs needs in ways he doesn't 'get'. As long as you aren't having to fight your husband as well as the schools, let him understand your son his own way.
