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.

Good to hear that it's all done and dusted now. It's a lot to take on board but I'm glad it was what you were expecting and not anything else. Hope you can take some time over the next few days and relax. Numb is good for the moment, well it would be for me personally, you can move from that place better than anything overly negative, or positive for that matter in my experience.
All my best to you and the family.
Thank you! It’s what I expected all along. Sometimes it’s better to feel nothing, better than an overload of emotions all at once! I’d rather wait and ‘feel’ something about it when I’m more ready!

Yeah, you can ease your way into getting yoyr head around it all. As for today, I'd just relax. It's been a hectic few months, they did it all quite quick!
