Feel so upset for dd

Hi all,
I'm sorry I feel as though I need a good rant/ cry. My dd is 4 and just before lockdown was being assessed for autism - which we have suspected along with her preschool key worker. Anyway before lockdown she was really coming along and she was improving with her learning she absolutely loved going to preschool, so when covid hit - it really got her hard as she couldn't understand why she couldn't go and see her little friends that she'd made there. Her speech is very rambled and she does say some words/ phrases but that deteriorated a little but since she was able to go back to preschool shes improving again.
But now shes just been diagnosed with having scarlet fever - so now shes had to finish preschool 2 weeks early as obviously they wont have her back in now.
But I just feel so upset for her as she was already behind all her peers with everything and now I feel she'll just ho back that little further, shes missing out on all the fun things they're doing over the next 2 weeks, before they finish, shes already missed their little graduation and I just feel that she always gets the tough end of the deal with everything. Also I'm so worried about her stating school in sept - with how she's going to adapt - with not being able to have transition days/meetings etc, and how the other kids will be with her.
I'm sorry I just needed a pity party for 1 and I'm sure a lot of parents are going through the same - if not worse.
Not really asking anything just needed to get it out of my system and if anyone feels similar to me or am I just being oversensitive about it all.

Hugest of hugs - very natural worries (my DD has ASD)

I don’t know what to say. Hopefully school will have a very good approach and settling in period, as they are of course aware there hasn’t been the usual transition prep and will be quite a few anxious little ones.

Try and have the best Summer together, before she starts school. 😘

Thank you for your reply, we will try and have a good summer before she starts school. I was just on a proper downer about everything the other day, but shes alot better now - health wise and we'll just take each day as it comes.
Hope all is well with your dd.
