I don't know my baby anymore

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
