My little girl is only young (pre school), it’s very likely she’s autistic. Pre school have raised this. I just think I need a hug/some reassurance.
I worry about her future. I don’t ever want her feeling different/struggling with life. It breaks my heart to be honest. I’ve often grieved the child I thought I’d have as her traits have become more apparent.
I love her regardless. Her quirks make her who she is & I’m sure she, with the right support will thrive but it’s hard.
i think I’ve always known something was different - she’s intelligent, excellent speech etc but just something different. any words of wisdom or am I being completely unreasonable?

Take a breath. Try not to let your thoughts run away with you. Whether DD is autistic or not, she is still the same little girl she was before nursery suggested further assessment.

It is brilliant the nursery is on the ball. They should provide support even before a diagnosis.
