Parent to newly diagnosed 3 year old

Hi all, my daughter has recently been diagnosed with Autism and we are at a bit of a loss of where we go from here. I am looking for some parents in a similar situation, maybe someone with some advice or experience to help me work through situations in her best interest. I am unsure how to discipline her, what I should realistically expect from her, where do I go from here to gain more information to help her through life and help her understand her diagnosis when the time is right. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I am so nervous of getting things wrong for her.

  • Thank you. We are currently finding that when she displays unwanted/ not safe/ not allowed behaviour and we tell her no we are getting punched in the face. This was not ideal but okay but now she has started doing it to children we are keen to put a stop to it/ give her other coping mechanism. Thank you for the links.
