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.

I'm glad that we 'know' now. But it is a lot to deal with. I guess it's good that my diagnosis came first so I have autistic friends to talk with about it and I'm not as freaked out by it as some non-autistic parents can sometimes be. As mentioned above. I'm not feeling anything about it at the moment.
