I have an 11 year old girl that has been recently diagnosed with ASC, at the moment she doesn’t want to talk about it much and to be honest I’m unsure with how to put her at ease with it. She masks it really well at school but has known she is different for a few years and would frequently ask why she wasn’t like her friends. Myself and my husband pushed for a diagnosis and she was told on the day along with us the outcome, but she has recently voiced she feels as if it’s ruined everything, we are also going through the first stages of her periods so her emotions are super high and we are all trying to navigate this new chapter in the dark.
any help or advice would be much appreciated.
