Hello First time Dad to Be,
Thank you for being so open about your situation. Have you considered mediation counselling? It may help for you both to talk with someone from outside of the family. Break each point you have mentioned down into smaller areas. It may help you both to see each others point of view.
It can be an overwhelming time for parents to be, and the idea of having to have a possible c-section can be very scary. You don't mention how old you both are? I think communication is the key, but perhaps not too much at once. Are there any organisations connected with Autism that may help?
Build on the positives that you have - i.e. the communication between you and your ex-partners mum.
I wish you all the best and hope that the situation works out for all concerned and that you can be part of your baby's life.
