After diagnosis, confused by my reaction.

My 13 year old son has just had his diagnosis of ASD. I have been trying to get someone to recognise this for years without success. Now we have it, I have hit rock bottom, I have been told this is a normal reaction , but why as i have known all along, just needed someone to see what I see.

I cant face work,where I am a teaching assistant-where I work with children with difficuties every day. I am sleeping all time, wandering about aimlessly. I do have up moments but its not long before I feel down again.

Has anyone else felt like this?

... extra info; our diagnosis seemed quick compared to others i have read about.
I answered questions using the Cambridge and Australian questionnaires and then met with the consultant child & adolescent psychiatrist a few weeks later who gave me his diagnosis at the end of the appointment.
