I don't know if this would help, but we have had DD1's teachers put together a little "book" of classmates with their photos for the last two years. Last year they just handed me pictures and I put them together, this year her teachers actually made a little laminated book of construction paper pages with the names and photos.  

Then I go over them -- who is this, did you play with her/him today, etc. -- outside of class because it really helps her with learning and remembering faces/names.

I don't know, it might not be very helpful if he doesn't recognize faces at all. May be worth a try, though!

I think your first step should be getting to a marriage counselor stat. I actually can't read anything else in your post because I'm irrate that a father would be so careless in regards to his child.

I think once you get past that issue, you can get your son the help he truly needs.

My friend has a son with an autism dx.  She took pictures of all of the kids in our playgroup and put together a book for her son with their faces and names.  It might help, though you'd have to ask the school/parents before taking pictures of kids.

I really think your bigger issue is your husband, though.  That is a lot of pressure on you, not a professional, to "flounder" around trying to help your son.  I can't imagine the stress I'd feel if I didn't have professionals helping me help my daughter be the best she can be.  In your shoes, I think I'd call his bluff on the divorce talk.  Your son is worth it.
