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 :-)

  • hi Calamity29.  There are lots of posts on this site from parents in a position like yourself.  The emotions you're experiencing are not unusual at all, so give yourself some time to adjust + use this site to gain knowledge + get support from other posters.  The diagnosis in detail will help you to understand how autism affects your child as an individual.  That's a good thing for her + you.  How affected is her hearing?  We understand + everyone will try + help.  bw
