My Daughter got diagnosed this morning

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 really want to say congratulations! I'm 34 weeks pregnant and am hoping the little one is autistic too but then I'm really happy about my own diagnosis and the way I get to live life.

    I tend to feel numb after a big event, such as a diagnostic assessment too. Sounds like a quiet afternoon is perfect for you.
