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 see you had your diagnosis last year. Sounds to me your daughter will get a good start and great support. All the best 
Thank you 
I guess that I’m probably a lot less miffed by my daughter’s diagnosis than a non-autistic mum would be but it’s still a big transition to go from ‘no autism’ to ‘I’m autistic and so is my daughter’ (I suspect my eldest daughter has, in old terms, Aspergers, but she is 21 and not seeking diagnosis. I guess I will now get a crash course in bringing up a diagnosed autistic child and all the services that entails!
