My Daughter got diagnosed this morning

Kitsune

My 2 year old daughter got diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder according to the DSM-5 this morning. The diagnosis was expected as she's too much like me not to be autistic. I'm not sure how I feel right now, perhaps a bit numb.

    Yes knowledge is power and she will get all the early intervention support which is good. Honestly, I don't know if I'm ok or not! I had planned to do lots of things this afternoon but I might end up hiding out on the forum instead! It is a lot to adjust to my own diagnosis at the end of last year and now my daughter's diagnosis too. I've known that she's autistic from when I was 7 months pregnant with her though! That was my Aspiedar/Autdar working at full force :-)
