As a neurodivergent person who has lived on this earth for nearly 29 years, I should not be surprised that EE's story about Mick's trauma response to repressed memories of childhood abuse resurfacing has been focused heavily on his wife's 'not getting enough attention' feels.
I mean, that's exactly how they treated Ollie's autism. It's all about how it gives his mum sads that he's autistic and how she responds to the sads.
Neurodivergent people only get to exist as burdens to those we love and/or as people who don't deserve love and support.

Surely not a coincidence that Ollie's mum and Mick's wife are the same person.
Mick should find someone who will recognise that this is so obviously a mental health crisis, support him through it, and then get primary custody of Ollie, and that's that on that.

But they won't do that, because we're supposed to sympathise with her plight and how hard it is for her, and also what a great mum she is to her poor broken autistic burden child 😑
And we're supposed to root for then to stay married for some reason.
