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.

  • You  are right. My daughter's audiologist told me that she can't hear some sounds. My husband refuses to read anything about autism or even watch any video of toddlers that has autism in it. He also refuses to go to the appointment with me. I just don't know what to do with him. I know he is having a hard time accepting it. I also have the same troubles but he refuses to talk to me about anything that has something to do with our child. All he says is when our child starts talking all of these testing and autistic stuff will need to be dropped.

    Right now, the way that my daughter communicates with me is by pulling my hand and taking me to do the place or toys she wants. Mostly, when she needs something she pulls my hand. She says different sounds like wa, ba, ka and others nothing really that makes sense other than mama, papa, dada, yeah and occasional ball, and hey.

    To be honest, I'm really terrified about the result that my daughter's doctor will say. I rescheduled her appointment again so she can be diagnosed.
