I think insurance would cover most of it once the deductible is met. We hit our whole deductible every year because we have an autistic child, so it may not cost that much.
Definitely get into counseling. Just having kids is enough to throw a monkey wrench into a marriage, but having the added stress of an autistic child is like hitting it with a 50 cal. You mentioned that your wife is controlling and nags a lot... she has an autistic child, she has to be in control 24/7 (or at least she feels like she has to be in control) to deal with the child. Ask yourself, "are we truly working as a team in this marriage or is her nagging, her way of begging for more help?" My husband thought he was doing me a favor, by just letting me handle things... yeah, no! I saw it as him escaping his responsibilities to the family. I'll bet there are a number of small everyday things that both of you can do that will improve things between you.
