You have to watch that marriage. I had no chance, my wife (now ex) dove down an endless bottle of alcohol and started running around. It started the day she learned the diagnosis. Now I have the kids, a nanny and she is in supervised visitation. It is a growing problem the spouse just throwing their hands up and running out. Get as much family involved as you can. One person can't do it all.

The BEST advice I got from a BCABA was how to deal with meltdowns. Most parents see it in horror and based on the severity of the meltdown would try to do anything to console the child and end the meltdown. When you do this you teach the child that to get what they want (since they can't talk) throw a fit. To get what you really want throw a REALLY big fit. When they meltdown you have to give it ZERO attention and the behavior will extinguish.
