Hi. More of a luker than a poster. I've found this board immensely helpful. DS (2.9) was diagnosed with ASD and sensory processing disorder recently. I'd suspected for a few months prior to the diagnosis that he did have ASD, so it wasn't a complete shock.
Most days I'm coping okay, I also have a DD who is 7 months old and there are already some concerns about her, about not recognising me sometimes (sometimes I take DS out for medical appointments and when I come back DD doesn't respond to me but she always responds to DH). Although paediatrician has said it's too early to be too concerned.
I go through most days okay, cope okay, but sometimes I'm completely overwhelmed, I think it's the uncertainty about what the future holds.
Just feeling quite sad today. Sorry for the ramble. Any advice on how to get through these moments or how to 'get a grip' as I need to stay strong for the DC. Thanks
