Hi, welcome . How old is your daughter? What services is she getting at the minute? I am disappointed that the school have taken the attitude they have. Do you think she's in the right place? Check out the home page relating to your rights for support for your daughter at school. It got changed, but until fairly recently children with special needs would receive a statement of those needs. Support would be provided. Now it's got another name, something like an education, health + care plan or similar. The school should be helping with this. Also make an appointment with CAB or your council's welfare rights dept to claim any benefits you may be entitled to, if you haven't already. The best thing you can do is learn as much as poss about how autism affects your child personally. Take it bit by bit, there's a lot to learn. There are posts about how people cope (or don't) with a diagnosis. Loads of info via the home pg + the posts. Ask anything you want, whenever you want.
