Newly diagnosed autistic child

New Diagnosis to Autism

My child is 2 years old. Her name is Sophie. We went to see her developmental doctor on 24 December and the doctor pretty much stated that she is having a lot of symptoms of autism and a lot of parents think that it might be her hearring but its not. My daughter was going to have her diagnoses on 22 January. However, on the 26 December my daughter and I went to her audiologist and the audiologist stated that her left ear drum is not moving. My husband and I was hoping that its my daughter's hearring that's really troubling her delay in speech. So, I asked the developmental doctor to reschedule her diagnosis so I can rule out the hearring dilemma.

To be honest, I'm scared and worried about my child. I know there's something wrong with her. She's acting weird in comparison with other children. I feel so lost and sad. My husband is not talking to me about anything in regards of my child. I want him to show some emotions on how he really feels. I feel so alone. I know it was a mistake to prolong the diagnoses because I already know that there's something wrong with my child. I don't know why I'm I indenial. I'm really having a hard time coping. ISometimes I will feel okay and I think I accepted the fact my child is the way it is but then I will cry my eyes out and feeling up and down constantly. I need an advice from anyone. Please.

  • Thanks for the reply guys. Actually, you guys are right. There are times that my daughter would react just fine and sometimes she would just ignore my husband and I. Actually, majority of the time my daughter loves to ignore the people that she doesn't know. You can call her name 100 times and if she doesn't want to respond then thats it. I cancelled the appointment because my husband is not cooperating with me. He is still in denial stage I guess. As for my own observation, my daughter's hand flipping, playing with her fingers weirdly and spinning has gotten worst. As for words or sentences, my daughter would say ball, hey, mama, papa, dada, and yeah. Then, after few months she will not say it at all. Right now, the only thing that she retained is yeah.

    Another thing, I still don't know the TBH or other acronym for autism. I'm still currently learning.

    I need another advice if you guys don't mind. I can't decide whether to go to school or not. With all of the commotion that's going on with my child, I don't know if I should go to school or just put my child in daycare. My daughter's Early Childhood Intervention told me that socializing with kids will help my child. I don't even know what to teach her if she stay at home with me. Actually, she doesn't listen to me. She will do it ones and then do it on her own way the next. Including with going to school full-time I also work part-time at night. I still can't believe that this is happening to my child. I also I'm having a hard time in the realization of my child's case. My husband doesn't even talk to me on how he really feels with the overall problem.
