HELP!

New Diagnosis to Autism

To hello everyone,

    Is there any tips and coping ways can anyone give me? My daughter is 2 years old. She's my one and only daughter. I have no other kids. I'm having a hard time accepting, I'm in pain and crying all time about her ASD. I know it sound pathetic but I feel like crap, I can't sleep at night, crying is mostly what I do other than chores, work, full-time school, take care of my baby and my husband. My family is not really much of a help. I talked to my mom and all she said is "you should've been the one that has an ASD!...what a waste... your daughter is so beautiful". My siblings have their own issues. I have no close friends that are near by. I don't know what to do please help.

  • The best thing is to wait for the diagnoses and start preparing and learning about Autism this way you can help and understand your daughters condition. Stay in touch and let us know what we can do to help. Today there is a lot of help, information and support with speech and other things.

    I was diagnosed at a late stage in my life. As a child my doctor thought I was deaf mute because I paid no attention to him when he spoke to me, I was almost speechless to the age of 10 and did not have any friends.  At school other kids were mean to me and the worst culprits were adults. Back then the help and the awareness was just not there, I got through the hard way.

    So there is a lot of help and advice today, don’t ever think your alone carry on speaking to us and to people who genuinely care.
