hello everyone

lindsey

hello im new to this forum my son as recently got his diagnosis for Autism and im feeling really emotional but his dad seems to be fine. Is it normal to feel upset at first ?

  • Hi Lindsey,

    It is completely normal to feel emotional!  In fact I think that just about any emotion is normal.  I think it can take a long time to sink in and there is so much to learn.  It's a long journey and everyone deals with it in their own way. 

    I am sure your sons Dad is just taking it all in - different people show it in different ways and sometimes don't appear to show any emotion to the outside world. 

    The important thing is to keep communicating with each other!

    Even in the long run you will have emtional days.  But you'll have plenty of good ones too.

    Best wishes x
