After diagnosis, confused by my reaction.

proud mummy

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?

  • He has been diagnosed. Two weeks ago. I am going to see the headteacher tomorrow to try and soout something out. The group I run is a very challenging one and don't feel I could cope with them at the moment. 

    I should also maybe point out that my eldest son is currently on his first tour of afghanistan, this is also adding to my emotional state .
