I am the mother of a diagnosed 10 year old and wife of an undiagnosed husband with ADHD. Looking for support and the knowledge to help me understand my daughter and husband. Struggling with control and self esteem issues with my daughter. Struggling with communication issues among others with husband. Really helpful and cathartic to read posts so i get a picture of what my husband and daughter may be going through... My daughter communicates fairly well with me but my husband is a closed book mostly. It is a painful and lonely experience trying to love and live with him most days. Looking forward to hearing from those in similar marriages.

Welcome! This website can be a wonderful resource to help address those issues.
Greetings!
I presume what you mean by your husband being a 'closed book' is that he doesn't iterate a lot of his views. Trying to be specific on what you want him to air his views on might be an easier way of talking to him in some areas. Autistic people like myself and others have varying levels of literal behaviour, some might only say as much as you specify and there's no room for iteration on their part.
Understanding why your husband is quite quiet is the first step then you can think of ways around it. This problem might not be what I've mentioned but that's an idea on how to handle those sorts of problems. I hope it helps.
