Your husband sounds a lot like mine.  It helped a little to educate him about our son's diagnosis (especially about how to handle an ODD kid), but he didn't really buy into it until he saw for himself the difference in difficult child when he was medicated vs. when he wasn't, and the difference in his behavior when there was a trigger (like staying up all night).  I did have to point it out to him at first, but he began to see what I did.  It took a long time, but husband did finally come around.  I had to realize it was hard for husband to accept that not only was something was wrong with our son, but it was a mental health problem.  It was easier for him to believe difficult child was like any other boy, and that he just needed a kick in the rear every other day or so.
