I don't know my baby anymore

mrsssavageangel

We've just been told that whilst we don't have a diagnosis yet, we are in that "ball park" by the paediatrican at RSCH. 

And now I don't feel like I know my son anymore.

He's 2.5 and this week I've just felt like I can't take him out to any of the places we used to go. I don't feel like I can play with him, without bursting int to tears and as such he's happily playing on his own.

Does this pass?

Can I ask other parents of ASD toddlers if and how they integrate? We live in a small town in rural surrey so there are no specialist facilities close by. Do I just keep him at home?

I'm so sad. Sorry

  • Thank you so much. I think I'm just a bit lost. I have no expereince of how to deal with this and although my husband keeps telling me nothing has changed from last week to this, something has changed. I know he wont react any differently (better or worse) than he did before our appointment. I'm just more scared and lacking in confidence I guess. 

    You're right I need to just get on and get back out there - I'm just so scared.

    And we have been told about the Early Bird classes - I'll definitly be looking into those post diagnosis.

    Thank you so much for reaching out, sounds like you've worked really hard to get where you are.
