Just been diagnosed.

Hello,

My 5 year old daughter was diagnosed on friday with aspergers it was only our second visit with the community pediatrician so i never expected to find out so soon i thought it would take longer. I knew in my heart that she would be diagnosed with aspergers yet i still feel shocked.

    He (like some people I've found) probably has a stereotype of what Autism is and if your daughter didn't fit his ideas, then he probably thinks there's no way she can be on the spectrum. As you may know, (and he should do) females are different to males on the spectrum.

    And then there are some child who are well behaved when being seen by proffesionals and act differently (what is normal for them) at home.
