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?

  • I made appointment with the doctor who gave me 'not fit for work' note for two weeks,I spoke to the deputy head who said I had not got to worry or feel guilty about not being at work - I did say to her that I felt guilty, and to take as much time as I needed.

    My big boy will be coming home in a couple of weeks, cant wait to see him and his gorgeous face again. I only hope he has been protected from the awful scenes we all know happen at war.
