Just been diagnosed.

4littleavengers

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.

  • My daughter has just been diagnosed finally after a long drawn out battle for 6 years. Her school provided conflicting evidence which made it worse. I have been told by experts that girls somehow mask their behaviour in new situations. They are aware of the social cues and rules, so how come when she is at home with me or grandparents that she is a living nightmare. Why am I the punch bag?

    I have struggled for so long for someone to notice her behaviour that now I can breathe a sigh of relief, but on the other hand I still feel guilty and embarrassed by her behaviour.

    I have read journals spoke to professors attended meetings all to try and get an understnding but there is no one who can precisely say well it is caused by this.......

    I now have to wait to see another professional because I was told that children don't get labelled anymore, is this true???

    I never wanted my daughter labelled but having that precise diagnosis will hopefully help us all who live with her to have a better understanding of her ways.
