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.

  • It's true that my husband is hard on me for doing all these testing for my child. However, as a parent I know there's something off with my child but he thinks that opposite. To be honest with you guys, even though my husband is hard on me. My husband told me that it doesn't matter what the diagnosis is. She is our daughter and I love her no matter what. However, I'm the one that's crying like crazy. I'm the one that's having a hard time accepting my child's problem. Did any of you have a hard time?---this is an idiotic question. What did any of you do to cope with it? I feel so selfish saying all the things that I'm saying. I have so many dreams for my child. I wanted to have a lot of grandkids. Well, she's my only child. I'm too scared to have another one just because I'm having too much problem with my daughter. I'm not quite sure if I can handle another child with the same problem. I know as a parent we have to be strong for our child. However, I'm really hurt on why is this happening to my child. Sorry for getting too emotional.
