    Hello Vicky

    You've joined a good bunch of people who can understand and offer friendly advice.

    The diagnosis simply confirms you're on the autistic spectrum, like you always have been. You must have a lot of ability within you to raise a family and cope with a daughter that is also autistic.

    You'll probably be able to access some support services (not sure what), but I find that having friends, even if you don't know them, is the best support of all.

    So, just ask and I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who have experience to offer you to give you confidence on a way forward.

    All the best
