Hi everyone. My son was diagnosed 2 days ago with asd. I'd always known that he was a little different but struggled to get anyone to pay any real attention. I'm not if it was because I was a single young mum or maybe I didn't push hard enough. However now he's finally been diagnosed (he's almost 8) I'm struggling to get my head round it. Have others found this to be the case?? I guess all the while he wasnt diagnosed we had hope that perhaps it wasn't asd. I feel bad in saying that. I feel guilty all the time, and i feel sad for him. Is this normal??
