Are these emotions normal

Hi All who come across this,

life for my daughter hasn't changed as such due to the fact I had already adapted to who she is from gaining valuable insight into her just through observing the things she does however for me I seem to be going through a roller coaster of emotions since my princess was diagnosed asd only a week ago, I always believed my daughters hearing problems to be the reasons behind her special traits.

i feel like I've been told this and that's it your on your own, go get on with it, which is funny as I have brought my daughter up for years now, so is this a normal reaction as a parent to go through so many emotions, denial, loss, feelings of failure and plenty more.

i am so proud of my daughter she is a real inspiration to me and various other family members.

Any feedback would be great

have a great day everybody :-)

  • You don't say how old your daughter is. My son was diagnosed at 12.

    You are bound to feel lots of different emotions. Some people say they mourn for the child they will never have. I didn't feel like that. In a way it was a relief to have a reason for his behaviour.

    It can take some time to get used to the idea, so let yourself adjust at your own rate.
