hi from a confused mum

disease

Good evening I have joined today after a very caring mum sent me the link. My 8 year old daughter was diagnosed last Monday we have been battling with her behaviour for around 2 years and only asked for help when she started picking holes in her skin earlier this year. I have had such a strong reaction to her diagnosis which I can't quite understand,  I knew there was a possibility but its hit me like a ton of bricks turning me to emotional jelly.  I know nothing about Apergers I feel lost and helpless.  

Idon't really know what I expect from posting here xxx

  • Hi disease - I am in much the same boat.  My 10 year old got a diagnosis yesterday having been "under review" on and off from the age of 5.  I have been struggling with his behaviour since he was 3 and in many ways am not at all surprised but nevertheless feel an emotional wreck (here I am on the autism website at 5 in the morning!) 

    Don't know what your experience is but I got a 10 minute appointment and a brown envelope with various bits of paper and away we go - come back in 3 months!
